Notes about the Walks: Arrive at least 15 minutes before the stated time - walks start promptly. • Call the leader if you would like more information about the walk or meeting place, or, in case of severe weather, phone before 8am to check arrangements • For other than half day walks and linear walks (unless otherwise stated) please bring a picnic lunch to eat in the open air. • Everyone participating in Ramblers walks and other activities does so at their own risk. • Dogs , under control, are welcome on our walks at the leader's discretion, except where noted. • Please make sure that you are fit enough to undertake the walk you intend to join. If you're unsure of your fitness level, try a short walk first: it's much better to find a walk a little too slow and easy than to make yourself miserable and exhausted. • Most walks are off-road in rural areas. Please have suitable footwear and clothing for the walk you intend to join, and bring some food and drink, even if the walk includes a pub or café break. Leaders may refuse to accept participants who in their opinion are inadequately equipped or unfit. When in doubt, contact the organisers or the walk Leader in advance. • For your own and others' safety please read and abide by any advice and guidelines issued by the WALKING FOR PLEASURE organisers, and the instructions of the walk Leader . Though walking is inherently one of the safest outdoor activities, no activity is completely without risk and it is your responsibility to behave sensibly and to minimise the potential for accidents to occur. MEETING POINTS When on-line you can click the link after the OS Grid Reference (GR) - e.g. TQ426349 - to view a map of the start location. WALKS PROGRAMME Post Codes : Following member requests, we are now including the nearest Post Code along with the Grid Reference of the car park for the start of each walk. However, it should be noted that this will be the Post Code of the OCTOBER to DECEMBER 2018 nearest building to the car park, and therefore may not be as accurate as the Grid Reference for country car parks. For the Wednesday LINEAR walks, always confirm the meeting and transport details with Nick or Bryan beforehand , in case arrangements have changed. Our walks are shown with a coloured background indicating the Grade of the walk, which in most cases will correlate to the type of walk as described below.
