A walk leaders meeting will be held on Tuesday 29th November, at 11:15 in the coffee room, to finalise the new walk programme for 2017. All walks will now take place on 1st Thursday of each month to prevent clashes with the Architecture group.

It is proposed to organise a selection of walks to suit all abilities, with a short walk being up a maximum of  5 miles and a longer walk up to 10 miles. Walks will start from the same point and walkers can decide which they wish to attempt. Walkers will be  responsible for their own choice depending on their individual fitness levels..Public transport will be used for some walks, but others will require the use of cars to get to the start point. Therefore drivers who are willing to offer lifts to the start point will also be required, with individual arrangements to be made for car sharing costs. Not all walks will have a venue at the end point for a meal, so a packed lunch will be required. Walkers will be advised which walks require this..

Leaders are required for both the short and longer walks and will be responsible for undertaking a walk recce and leading the walk on the day. Please attend the meeting if you are willing to reece and lead  a walk. The more leaders we have the less the burden on the willing few!  No leader….no walk!
