Walks and Events Programme for 2025
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.
Jean Pritchett is responsible for publicising advanced information about the proposed walks on this website (telephone 01606 76055 or email zpritchett@aol.com).
Please note that in early 2024 the days of our mid-week evening walks were changed to alternate between Tuesday and Thursdays.
Walk leaders should send full information about the proposed walk to Cath and Jean for publication at least 3 weeks before the relevant date. It is also advisable for the walk leader to include personal contact details within the walk information so that prospective walkers can obtain more details from the leader or can contact the leader if there are any changes. John Freeman will also email details of the walk to individual members if there are last minute changes.
Sunday Walks. Car sharing for these walks is recommended as the walks are normally further afield and start at about 11 a.m. 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 6-7 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. The End of Season Dinner will be held on Saturday 22nd November 2025 at the Antrobus Arms. Further details will be shown on the website nearer to the time.
