New Members
It is recommended that all participants wear stout footwear, preferably walking boots and carry a rucksack.  You will need a waterproof jacket and a fleece or jumper/pullover.  It can turn chilly even on a short walk.  Don’t wear jeans.  If it rains, they soak up the water.   Bring food and drink for a picnic lunch on the way.  The Ramblers Association recommends that all members carry a First Aid pack on walks.  It would be helpful also to have with you a card giving details of who to contact should an emergency arise; also any significant health problem and medication.

Please allow yourself 10 minutes to get your boots and jacket on, pay any parking fee and lock your car!   Then make yourself known to the walks leader.  If you have any queries about the walk, this is the person to ask. You are allowed up to three ‘tester’ walks with us after which you are expected to take up membership of the Ramblers’ Association.  Sorry, but we do not accommodate dogs on our walks.

We look forward to seeing you.
