The members agreed on a framework within which the group could operate smoothly. The key elements are:

- Our walks aim to be between 5 and 6 miles long.

- The pace will be a good walking pace - not a stroll, but not too fast.

- The walks will be over any terrain.

- The walks will mostly be in the country, which can be reached by car and occasionally by bus or train. Some walks will be local and some may also include pavement walking.

- The group should walk together, and the leader(s) for the day must be allowed to stay at the front of the group.

- The walk leaders will give a short description of the walk (eg, terrain, unevenness, hills, stiles, muddiness etc) which will be emailed to all members. Each member is responsible for their own well being, and so must decide each time if the walk is appropriate for them, bearing in mind conditions might have changed since the walk recce.
