Walk Programme 156 September to December

If you walk with us you do so at your own risk and must follow the guidance of our Health and Safety code (see the link on the Welcome page).  In the event of severe weather, before setting out, please check with the walk’s organiser that the walk is going ahead.

You will find a downloadable, printable copy of the programme at Programme 156 Sept through Dec 2025  

Our Walk Leaders draw on the guidance set out in Walk-Leader-Guidance-Notes 

We do sometimes run ad hoc morning or, in the summer, evening walks.  They are not always in the programme but are notified to members by email a week in advance.
