We offer moderate walks from 7 miles to 9 miles. Please note that walks may have to be changed
at short notice due to adverse weather conditions or for other reasons.
Please do not bring dogs or children on the walks, which are over all types of terrain. Walkers should therefore be prepared for stiles and rough ground as well as mud. Remember that weather conditions can deteriorate very quickly, with little or no warning, particularly on high ground, so be prepared. We walk throughout the year, so we suggest the following items, some of which are seasonal:
All Walking Group "A" members are given a more detailed programme with start point details and phone number of walk leaders. Newcomers are requested to contact the Co-ordinator or Deputy Co-ordinator. Lifts are by arrangement, so may we suggest a voluntary donation of £4.00 by each passenger to the driver. Should anyone have to leave the walk for whatever reason, then the walk leader must be informed for safety reasons. Please note that all walkers walk at their own risk. After the walk, why not round off the day by enjoying a relaxing drink with everyone at a local hostelry or coffee shop?

Winter Holiday in Torquay, Devon - January, 2013
Once again 49 members and friends of Walking Group "A" enjoyed another January holiday,
this year in Torquay. Both long and short walks were arranged each day. The scenery was
spectacular but the going was tough along the coastal path due to the recent heavy rainfall.
However, as you can see from the photos, we all had a great time.
