What to expect
Monthly day walks explore the area's forests, river country and coast, offering opportunities to walk with others and share knowledge of local history, plants and wildlife. The programme includes Monday walks of around 15–24 km, Thursday walks of 8–15 km and shorter Saturday walks. Distances, difficulty, meeting points and times vary, so choose a walk suited to your fitness and experience. Longer camping walks are also offered, with members receiving booking priority.
