Walking

Status:Active, open to new members

When: On Wednesday mornings 10:00 am
2nd & 4th Wednesday

Walking for fun & fitness with like minded people

Meet on the second & fourth Wednesday of every month for a 10:00am start. Meet at the starting point for the walk

The members of the group are encouraged to organise a walk where possible. The walks are between 5 and 6 miles with varying difficulties, we send out information on the walk such as how long, difficulty, any major hills and the condition of the ground (muddy etc) so that the members can decide if the walk is for them.

We regularly get between 14 and 26 members on a walk. We plan the walks well in advance so people can plan, there is a very good atmosphere and it is an ideal way to meet like-minded people.

There is no charge for the walk but we do try and encourage a contribution for some car parking, usually there is a pub or cafe near the start / finish for refreshments after the walk.

For further information please contact the Group Leader.

Please remember that all activities are undertaken at your own risk.

Puddletown Walk - 9th October 2024

Despite the numerous clouds, we all stayed dry and had a thoroughly enjoyable walk which was led by Alban O'Brien.
