Current Events:

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.

Regular Event: First Friday
Friday Monthly Walks
Short walks around Dereham

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 7 March 2025
starting at Greenfields Road by the Windmill

If coming by car, please do not park in the Windmill car park,
instead use Greenfields Road.

You may like to join us at the end with
refreshments (tea/coffee or lunch) at the Partea Hut.

As a short walk, there is not a programmed refreshment stop, but there is usually a number of short halts for people to collect and catch breath, so if you want to bring something to eat and/or drink, there will be opportunity to consume it. 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.

See a report from our December and January short walks.

In many cases, but not always, at the end of the walk there is an option to participate in refreshments at a local cafe or similar.


Regular Event: Second Tuesday
Easy Tuesday Walks
Easy Tuesday Walks around Dereham

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 11 March 2025.
Meet at 10:00 outside Dads-and-Lads
(near the entrance of Cherry Tree car park)
