​
Q. How many members are there?
A. Between 60 and 80 members.
​
Q. I’m 45, is the group suitable for me?”
A. Our ages generally range from late 40s to 70s. The most important thing is do you think you fit in socially and are you fit enough for the walks.
Q. Can I bring my dog along?
A. Like most walking groups, we do not allow dogs on our walks.
​
Q. Do you stop at pubs for refreshments/lunch?'
A. No. You are advised to bring a packed lunch and drink. We stop for a short break in the morning and then at around 1pm for lunch, which normally takes around half an hour. Both of these 'stops' are selected by the 'walk leader'. We do sometimes visit a cafe or pub after a walk for refreshments if there is one conveniently located.
​
Q. I don't drive, can I still go on walks.
A. Our walks usually start at times and locations where public transport isn't available. We also take it in turns to drive from car sharing meet points. SO if you don't drive, it's unlikely that you'll be able to get to the walks.
​
Q. Can I send you details of my event/walking holiday/rental cottage to circulate to your members?
A. You can, but unless it's considered really especially interesting or useful to our members, it won't be passed on.
