We aim to find new walks and explore new areas, taking an interest in our surroundings.

Our walks are usually about 12-16 km in length with up to 500 m of ascent (normally less than this). Short sections of a walk may be pathless or over rough ground and there may be gates and fences to climb or streams to cross.

Although we adopt a moderate pace, particularly when climbing, a suitable level of fitness is required. Appropriate footwear and clothing, including waterproof jacket and trousers, suitable for all weathers is essential.

As we walk off the beaten track, travel will normally be by car using a system of car sharing and providing lifts to non-drivers.
