    What do I need to bring?

• Please wear strong shoes or walking boots.

• The weather can change very quickly, particularly on the hills, so bring a waterproof and wear warm clothing.

• For your own safety, walk leaders may refuse to accept inadequately clad walkers. On all walks, you will need to bring a packed lunch and a drink.

• Dogs? If you bring a dog, it should be on a lead and kept under close control at all times. Please remember that most of the walks cross farm and open grazing land.

• What about the weather? Whatever the weather the leader will be at the starting point to meet you. However, in the case of bad weather conditions the walk may be altered or cancelled at the leader’s discretion.

• Where do I meet? Please check your programme before each walk for time of departure. Ordnance Survey Map grid references are given in each walk description. If you have problems with transport, perhaps we can help - please ring.
