All walks are free, bring your own picnic when listed. Membership is not necessary to take part in walks, but is expected of regulars.
Where pre-booking a coach is involved we will refund the money if it is cancelled due to insufficient numbers.
For lifts to the start point or other information ring/email:

We recommend that you check the details prior to any walk, especially in periods of bad weather

We do take care to check out the walks for accuracy of length and obstructions etc. but events on the day can disrupt any walk. We also take reasonable care to avoid any problem areas but walkers do take part at their own risk. We do carry a mobile phone with us which can also be useful if you can’t find the start of the walk the number is usually 07771 843557.
