All are welcome, no membership required, come regularly or just occasionally on these free guided walks.  You are advised to wear appropriate clothing and hiking boots.  We will walk even if it is raining! On most of the winter longer walks there is the option of having a café/pub lunch, names and menu are taken at the start and café/pub informed so meal is ready on arrival.

There are plenty of stiles and several steep inclines.  Sorry no dogs.
