Contact Leader

All phone numbers are 01273 prefix unless otherwise stated.

 

Walks using Trains

Where we travel on the Train to the start of the walk will you please be at the railway station twenty minutes before the timed departure, but do not purchase a ticket until you have checked in with the leader, as it is cheaper to purchase tickets for groups of four (this saves even more money than using a Senior Railcard) and the Leader will arrange this.

 

Bus and Train Times

Please note the times given for both buses and trains are taken from current timetables and may vary in the winter timetables when these walks take place.

Return to walks
Dogs

Dogs may accompany members on walks provided they are kept under proper control and do not inconvenience others. Also, they must be kept on a lead in the presence of livestock and when requested by the Leader to do so.

 

Weather

Find out about today’s weather before you start out.
