WALKS FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT AND SAFETY

WHAT TO BRING

The following is a list of items that you should consider bringing on walks. Please note that we walk throughout the year and some of these items are seasonal. Bear in mind, however, that even on a summer's day, weather conditions, on high ground particularly, can deteriorate very quickly with little or no warning.

Comfortable waterproof boots or stout shoes (boots should be large enough to hold good thick socks as well as your feet!) Small rucksack Packed lunch and ample liquid refreshment Spare sweater, woolly hat, gloves and spare socks Large waterproof mat (to sit on) Change of footwear (essential for car rambles, or where a pub lunch is taken at the end of the walk) Torch, small first aid kit

CONDUCT ON WALKS

Please bear in mind that leading a walk involves far more than just finding the way. The leader also has to ensure that no-one gets lost, that the group causes the minimum of disturbance to livestock and crops when crossing farmland, and that everyone arrives back at the right time. When walking with the group, please try to make the leader’s job easier by observing these common-sense rules:-

DO NOT WALK AHEAD OF THE LEADER OBSERVE THE COUNTRYSIDE CODE; in particular, leave gates as you find them, and do not leave any litter TELL THE LEADER IF YOU DECIDE TO LEAVE THE MAIN GROUP DOGS MUST BE KEPT UNDER CONTROL AT ALL TIMES (please read the next section on our policy regarding dogs on our guided walks).

OUR POLICY REGARDING DOGS ON GUIDED WALKS

Dogs are allowed on most walks, but please check with the Walk Leader before the walk. At all times responsibility for them rests wholly with their owner. The dog must be under control and be on a lead at all times and any reasonable request by the Walk Leader must be complied with. On Access Land dogs are either banned or are required to be on a short lead.

PARKING

Please park carefully in an appropriate place. Avoid blocking gateways or damaging roadside verges. Ensure that your car is locked and that valuables are not left on view in the vehicle. If car park charges are known at the time the programme is printed, this will be stated.

3 Welcome to another wonderful year of walking. Whether you are new to our group, or an old hand, we hope that we have put together a selection of walks to suit all abilities and preferences.

Two points worth mentioning, especially for our newer members.

We do take photographs on some of our walks, and definitely on our weekends away and holidays. These then usually appear on our website, and sometimes on Facebook. If you prefer not to have your photo published, please let the photographer know and of course your wishes will be respected. We are aware that some people have problems getting to the start of walks when no public transport is available. If you would like to go on a walk, then please feel free to telephone the Walk Leader in advance. He or she may know of someone who could give you a lift. Please be aware, however, that we cannot guarantee making such arrangements for you as we do not generally know who is going on a particular walk.

Keyworth 1st August 2019 18 NOTICE BOARD

SUMMER HOLIDAY 2019 – Zakopane, Poland

25 members travelled to Poland to enjoy walking in the Tatra Mountains. It was an area of Europe that not many people had visited or knew much about. From the comments received, I think everyone loved Poland.

The hotel, situated in a quiet corner of Zakopane, served our needs very well and was a good base. They provided for all our needs including making a sandwich from breakfast fare for 5 zloty (about £1.10). We used HF Walk Leaders who very ably guided us on our walks. The walks, grade 2 and 5. were tough. Even the grade 2 was considered tougher than would be expected for that grade. The walking was made more difficult as most of the trails had been cobbled with uneven stones. I assume this was a throwback from the Communist days.

About half the group took the opportunity of visiting Krakow for a few days. Everyone agreed this was a beautiful and interesting city, well worth a visit.

The weather was excellent, a little too hot at times. Another memorable holiday. Angela

AUTUMN WEEKEND AWAY 2019 – Stroud, Glos.

In September 36 members of Rushcliffe Ramblers invaded Stroud for the annual autumn weekend away.

Over the course of the weekend, our kind volunteer Walk Leaders offered a total of 7 walks of varying lengths in what everyone agreed was beautiful countryside. On Friday and Saturday we were blessed with perfect walking weather, sunny and dry but not too hot. Sunday, however, was rather wet to say the least; nevertheless, a large number of the group turned out to walk.

Most of those attending the weekend chose to stay at the Premier Inn in Stroud, conveniently located with a good car park, but others opted for cottages, guest houses etc, some even extending their stay in the area.

Although we were a large group, we were able to eat together on both evenings - on Friday in a local pub, and on Saturday in a family-run Italian restaurant.

Some of the comments from those who took part: “The weather, the walking, the food and the company were all excellent” Jan “… a fabulous walking weekend” Elizabeth “…. another brilliant weekend away” Mike

Whilst in Stroud voting took place for the location of the 2020 Autumn Weekend Away and after a certain amount of lobbying the winner was Malvern. This will be held on the weekend of 18th to 20th September 2020. Karen 19 NOTICENOTICE BOARD BOARD

1. CHILDREN ON WALKS

Children are very welcome on our walks but any child taking part in any activity must be accompanied by an immediate family member (parent, elder sibling, grandparent). If a child is accompanied by someone who is not an immediate adult family member then that person must be able to demonstrate that they have authorisation to act in locus parentis. Such authorisation could take the form of a letter or independent verification from others in the party. This is important as only someone holding parental responsibility for a child can consent to medical treatment for a child whilst that child is participating in a specified activity.

Please ensure the walk is suitable for children by contacting the Walk Leader in advance of the walk.

Note: A child is anyone under 17 years of age.

2. NON-MEMBERS OF THE RAMBLERS

You are welcome to join us for two or three walks but will then be approached and expected to join the Ramblers. Please note that when you join the Ramblers you are entitled to walk with any group in the country.

To join the Ramblers, please go online at www.ramblers.org.uk Please state Rushcliffe Ramblers as your chosen group!

3. SHOPPING DISCOUNTS

The following shops offer 15% discount on production of a valid membership card: Cotswold Outdoors, Castle Boulevard Ultimate Outdoors, Castle Marina Retail Park

The following Nottingham shop offers a 10% discount on production of a valid membership card : Blacks, The Outdoor Store, Exchange Walk (formerly Millets)

4. NEW WALK LEADERS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME!

This programme of walks has been put together for your enjoyment by our group of volunteer Walk Leaders. If you have a favourite walk, or would particularly like to walk in a specific area, perhaps you could volunteer to lead a walk in a future programme?

Leaders for all types of walks are welcome. We start to plan our six-monthly programmes in April and September (July to December and January to June respectively). If you are interested, and want more information, please contact me, either on a walk, by telephone 0115 937 2804, or by email to [email protected] Larraine

20 IN CASE OF EMERGENCY (ICE CARDS)

Because accidents and illnesses can happen, it is possible that a walker may have to be given medical attention whilst out on a walk.

The Ramblers have produced a card called IN CASE OF EMERGENCY CARD and we have acquired a stock of these cards for our members to use. The information required is very similar to that entered onto our original blue cards as follows:-

Your Name, Address & Telephone Number Your Date of Birth Name of Person to contact in case of an emergency (name, address and telephone number) - could be next of kin providing that person is not out walking with the group. It would also be useful to state what relationship this emergency contact is to yourself. Existing medical condition and allergies (if applicable) Medication currently being taken (if applicable)

The Club does not need this information—but would like you to keep this on your person (perhaps in your rucksack?) in the event that the information is needed. It will only be presented to medical personnel if required. This then enables you to enjoy confidentiality whilst at the same time giving you the satisfaction of knowing that the right information is available when/if needed.

The ICE card is available from Larraine; Angela and Karen will both have supplies when on a holiday or weekend away.

Please help us to help you—if needed.
