68 Walks Peter and Working Parties

Peter is the organiser of our area’s working parties and give him some secateurs, a lawn mower and some wood and there’s isn’t much he can’t achieve. He and other volunteers have laid boardwalk at Blickling, fitted a new bridge at Denton Alburgh and added steps to a site near Geldeston.

He’s always looking for new volunteers, and he will ensure that you get a hi-vis jacket, full training and a chicken bake (vegetarian options are available). This is a really important part of the work which Ramblers is involved with and we’re really proud of Peter and the efforts of every individual who helps him.

For further information and to be added to his mailing list, please e-mail [email protected] or use the details on p.10 to phone or write to him.

Legstretchers

The new organiser of Legstretchers, Liam D’Souza, who can be contacted at [email protected]. New leaders are always welcome, as are new walkers.

Legstretchers is the long distance walking group of Norfolk Ramblers and we have a list of our walks on http://www.legstretchers.org.uk/ and they are also published at http://www.meetup.com/Norfolk-Area-Ramblers/. They would be listed here as well, but due to circumstances beyond Liam’s control, they’re not.

The second annual Legstretchers holiday will be taking place on the second week- end of May 2020, which is to the three Welsh peaks. This event is currently full, but contact Maria to see if any spaces open up.

BRECKLAND SHORT BRISK WALKS

Our walks in Breckland are short but brisk. We encourage walkers to walk at their own pace with a front and back marker. We do not stop during the walk, but there is usually a welcome stop for coffee or tea at the end of the walk. There is no need to book – just ensure you have your membership card with you and arrive in good time to hear the pre-walk introduction. You are welcome to come for a taster walk first to see you like it! A good pair of walking shoes and adequate outdoor clothing is all that is needed as on occasions it can be wet and muddy. Postcodes shown on the schedule are as near as we can get them. Grid references have been provided in some cases. In very wet weather we might have to change the normal routes for safety reasons. However, the meeting places will be the same. Walks may have to be cancelled in very bad weather…please phone or email on the morning if in doubt. Please note that the length of the walks are approximate and diversions from the planned route may be necessary.

The following paragraph relates to all walks advertised in this guide:

All sporting and leisure activities have inherent hazards associated with them and rambling is no exception. In spite of the safety of members always being the paramount concern, accidents will occasionally occur. It is important, therefore, that when entering into the activity, each member appreciates that they have a responsibility to identify the hazards associated with the activity and take all reasonable steps to eliminate or minimise the potential for an accident to arise.
