Walks and Events Programme for 2026
Cath Freeman is our walks co-ordinator (Phone number 01606 782892). Please notify her if you wish to arrange a walk or change the date that you have previously selected.
Sue Norrey is responsible for publicising advanced information about the proposed walks on this website (telephone 01606 227170 or email sue.norrey@sky.com).
Please note our mid-week evening walks alternate between Tuesday and Thursdays.
Walk leaders should send full information about the proposed walk to Cath and Sue for publication at least 3 weeks before the relevant date. If walkers want more details about a ramble, they can contact John Freeman who can provide contact details of the leader (usually the email address).
Sunday Walks. Car sharing for these walks is recommended as the walks are normally further afield and usually start between 10.30 am - 11.00 am for a distance of between 5 and 10 miles, or even more depending on the likely walking conditions and the degree of difficulty.
Mid Week Evening Walks. These walks start in the early evening and are closer to home.
Walking distance can be up to 3-5 miles or shorter depending on likely walking conditions and the hours of daylight. In 2024 we alternated walk evenings between Tuesdays and Thursdays but if a leader prefers a Wednesday, this will be OK.
Other Events and Activities. Details regarding End of Season Dinner to be advised.
