Social Walks Programme

 * *

We welcome visitors and prospective members on our group walks. We are a friendly group of people with various backgrounds and interests but with the common one of enjoying a good walk. Most group walks attract between 8 to 20 walkers of varying age and ability. Why not come and join us? However, once you have checked us out you will have to join the National Organisation. 

Details of the walk leaders can be found in the group address issue of Walk West the B&W Newsletter (For group members only).

  Please bring packed lunch as we do not normally visit pubs.

 

If you do a group walk please feel free to submit a short report or any photographs for publication on the Walks Archive page.
