You will find a downloadable, printable copy of the programme at Programme 159 July through Sept 2026 Our Walk Leaders draw on the guidance set out in Walk-Leader-Guidance-Notes
We do sometimes run ad hoc morning, afternoon or, in the summer, evening walks. They are not always in the programme but are notified to members by email a week in advance.
