Programme of Walks
Please note amended start for 12 February walk - parking now at top (N) end of Rousebarn Lane, Chandler's Cross.
Walk Leaders -- please notify any changes to the Webmaster. Any last-minute changes will be shown on this page and as a Newsflash on the Home Page.
On most of our walks, unless it says otherwise in the programme, you should bring food and drink for lunch and snacks. If the leader has planned for the group to eat lunch in a pub this will be clearly stated in the programme.
We show in green italics some (most) of the challenge events organised by our neighbouring groups. See "Strider", the LDWA website or the local Group's website for further details.
We organise several Weekends Away during the year, all now completed. This year we went to the Isle of Wight, the Lake District and Mid-Wales. You will find reports of most of our Weekends Away for this and the past few years in the Journal or the archives.
Dates and destinations for 2012 will be published after the AGM in January.
