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.

We plan to catch the 10:00 Konect bus 21 from Dereham to North Elmham, for a 7 mile walk back to Dereham. To join this walk, please meet at 09:45 at the bus stop in the Market Place near Specsavers: bring your bus pass or fare.

Depending on the preferences of those walking, we may have a stop for refreshments at Gressenhall Farm and Workhouse (no entry charge for those just using the café). If we do this, we will then continue the walk back to Dereham, but there will also be the option of catching a bus back to Dereham from there, though buses are only hourly.

Join us for a leisurely short walk of usually no more than 4 miles. There’s no need to book, just turn up.

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.

We often end with the option of refreshments (tea/coffee or lunch) at a café in town.

See a report from our February and March 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).
