THE WALKING GROUP IS RESTARTING FROM MONDAY 27 TH APRIL.
We will meet at 10.30 a.m., once a month on the 4th Monday of each month.
For health reasons Ann, Clare and will have to change the nature of the walks. We
are not able to manage longer walks or climbs. Walks will vary between 0.5 - 1 mile
and will be on the level. The focus will be on short guided walks. We will share our
knowledge and research into the history, culture, future plans, anything interesting
about the area we live in. We hope more members will come forward with local
information to share with the group.
The meeting places will be at or near a local bus stop or possibly train station. We
are happy to travel where the local buses can take us; from Littlehampton, Ferring,
Goring, Worthing, Lancing, Shoreham, Brighton; beach, town, countryside and the
Downs.
We have vacancies for new members. We also need volunteers to lead walks. If we
get a volunteer to help run the group we would be able to run twice monthly walks
again.
Terms and Conditions
It is the responsibility of all members to decide for themselves whether they feel safe
and comfortable to undertake these walks, which are at their own risk. Members
should wear suitable clothes and shoes for walking.
If a walk is cancelled, Heather will contact by email those who have previously
booked in, or by text if on the morning of the walk. If you decide not to undertake a
booked walk, then please let Heather know.
We regret dogs are not permitted on the walks.
