Monday Walks

 

MONDAY WALKS 

Walks and programme subject to alteration at short notice due to bus and train timetable changes and cancellations. Weather conditions and unforseen circumstances may also result in changes to the advertised walks. 

We ask that you adhere to the rules of West Leeds Walking Group Est 2004 for your own safety. Do not walk in front of the Leaders or behind the Back Markers. Please tell the actual leader if you wish leave the walk before the finish. Pease consider the walk distance and/or terrain to ensure you will be able to manage the walk. There may not be a suitable break off point in some walks if you are unable to complete the distance.All walks are undertaken at your OWN risk. Contact the actual walk leader for more information on any walk. You do not need to notify us if you are unable to attend.

If attending for the first time just turn up at the designated meeting point. The walking group will be easily recognised. Ask for Janice the PR Officer who takes a register of names for each walk.

Please also check our WhatsApp Group site or Facebook site (Friends of West Leeds Walking Group est 2004) which will be updated with any last minute changes.

With the many current roadworks around Leeds city centre and suburbs it may be worth while to check for the next stop after the meeting point if you are running late.
