IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Walk leaders reserve the right to change or amend a walk without prior notice.  Bad weather can sometimes force the cancellation of a walk, please call the leader to check.

Attention, walkers are requested to remain within sight of the walk leader whilst on group walks.  If leaving a walk for any reason Inform the Walk Leader before leaving.

Walk leaders also reserve the right to refuse anyone access to a walk who is felt to be inappropriately equipped or fit for the walk planned.  If you are in doubt about any aspect of the walk please do not hesitate to contact the walk leader.

Walks will start at the times given so please be at the starting point at least 5/10 minutes before the start time given.  Distances are not exact and may be varied due to local circumstances during the walk.  Please be aware that since walk times are planned around Bus/Train Times, if you are late we regret that we cannot wait for you.  Furthermore since we cannot guarantee Bus/Train services running to their scheduled times we may have to amend walks without advance notice.

NB: A Single meeting point is now specified for each walk, this is to avoid the confusion which has been experienced on some occasions.  For details of possible alternate meeting points please telephone the relevant walk leader.
