| Date | Walk type | Starting Point. Description of Walk. | Distance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coronavirus
(COVID-19) Walkers will need to contact the leader of each walk no later than the day beforehand, using the phone numbers from the members' newsletter, to 'book in' for the walk; up to a maximum of six including the leader. Please ensure that you have face covering and gloves/sanitiser available for use at gates, stiles, refreshment stops etc. We will aim to walk in a loose socially distanced line, and if approached by members of the public from the opposite direction on a narrow path or pinch point, will put up face covering, stand still and turn our backs until we can move on. If we follow sensible ways of walking, with distancing at stops and stiles, gates etc., not forming a group 'huddle' at any time, we should be able to enjoy our walks in company without increasing our personal health risk. |
