We are pleased to bring you a Programme of Walks for Spring 2026. We look forward to seeing you.
Please make sure to check for any last-minute alterations.
There is an urgent need to recruit more leaders, as it is unreasonable to expect our present volunteers to lead several times each programme.
Please consider making a contribution to the club in this way. Plenty of help and advice available from existing leaders.
