For all walks, please make sure you have decent footwear (especially when it’s been wet) and suitable clothing: all walks will go ahead unless the weather is really bad (we’ve cancelled just one walk in the last 6 years) but do check if you’re in any doubt or want more information. If conditions necessitate the route of walks may need to change at short notice.
Join us for a leisurely short walk of no more than 4 miles. There’s no need to book, just turn up.
Next short walk starts 10:15, Friday 2 August
from The Windmill.
If coming by car, please park on Greenfields Road (avoiding the limited Windmill car park).
The walk will be led at a reasonable pace - we do not rush, but we do need to make progress for the group as a whole; if you have any questions about our speed, please raise them with us. There’s no need to book, just turn up.
See a report from our April and June short walks.
Join us on the second Tuesday of the month for a walk no more than two miles and on good and even surfaces: we will make it clear in the email if this is not the case. The pace will be steady with regular pauses to catch our breath.
Afterwards there will be an opportunity to have some refreshments at a nearby hotel/cafe (bring your purse).
The next walk will be on Tuesday 13 August.
Meet at 10:00 outside Dads-and-Lads
(near the entrance of Cherry Tree car park)
If you think this might be for you and want more details or have any questions, please contact Sue at sue.rothwell@outlook.com. Please note that if you need personal support in order to take part, you will need to arrange this yourself; we regret that we are unable to provide it.
