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.

meeting
Short walk & APM
It would be helpful if you can let us know if you plan to attend

We will start at 13:30 with a 4¼ mile walk Commencing from Church House (bottom of Church Street). It will take in South Green, Dumpling Green and Greens Road.

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. You should come with decent footwear (especially when it’s been wet) and suitable clothing.

On return, there will be light refreshments in Church House where we will conduct our Annual Public Meeting - please come along and let us know what you think of what we’ve been doing and offer your thoughts on what we should be doing for the future. In order to get the refreshments right, it would be helpful if you can let us know if you plan to join us.

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 is Friday 3 May
starting 10:15 from Town Centre

After the walk we may go to a local café for hot drinks and/or lunch at the end. If this option appeals to you please come prepared with a bit of available time and money.

As a short walk, there is not a programmed refreshment stop, but there are usually a number of short halts for people to collect and catch breath.

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. If you would like a slower pace maybe try our 'Easy Tuesday Walks'.

See a report from our March and April short walks.
