Walk leaders always carry out a walk check shortly before the walk date. A key feature of the group is that many members have the opportunity to go out with experienced leaders to help check walks and learn more about how the walks are planned.

We usually walk between 7 and 10 miles on country footpaths where we do meet uneven terrain with hills and stiles so a reasonable fitness, appropriate footwear and outdoor clothing is required. Because these walks are longer we aim to walk at a good pace while also stopping to enjoy the countryside and landmarks we pass.

If you are interested in joining our group - see new member information below. Please contact Kathy above. She will arrange a phone call with you to tell you more about the group. The group is limited to 30 members as 24 is the maximum number we can register for each walk.

WALK PROGRAMME 2026

Below is a list of planned walks for 2026. Some details are yet to be confirmed. All walks subject to change as leaders check walks; due to leader availability; or due to other unforeseen change of circumstance.

Members receive an email the weekend before a walk giving details of location, distance and any specific challenges. Walkers must consider this information carefully and decide if it is appropriate for them to join the walk. We take a picnic and sometimes have a special outing e.g. to the Isle of Wight or for a pub lunch. We meet at Holbrook and organise car sharing, so we do rely on a good number of willing drivers.
