RISK WARNING FOR ALL WALKS: Please dress appropriately for weather conditions and carry a bottle of water and medication (if necessary). You need to be moderately fit for the walks and be able to walk for maximum 3 miles without a break. On these walks we may use; pavements, cross busy roads, public parkland, towpaths alongside water, other public paths, rights of way, bridlepaths, country lanes and other established paths and tracks through woodland, bush and countryside. Please only wear good sturdy shoes, preferably walking boots and take care as surfaces may be uneven, tree roots may protrude, there may be low overhanging branches and some paths are also used by joggers and cyclists and sometimes cars (country lanes). Some tracks may be muddy and slippery. On occasion wild, domestic and farm animals may also be encountered. If you require insurance for these walks then you must arrange this yourself.
