Useful information

Info for Walk Leaders and Walkers

Walk leaders when looking for inspiration can see all past walks on the old web site by clicking on legacy web site at the bottom of the home page

You are welcome to join any walks and to bring friends. Please let the walk leader know if you plan to bring anyone. And remember that we hope that people who come on more than one or two walks will join the LWG.

As always we are grateful to our leaders: here is a check list for the information needed – please let me, Margaret Miles, have the details 3 weeks before the date so that I can circulate to the group.

If you need a map, contact me to see if the LWG has one or can buy one for you.

Few reminders of the country code

• Be safe, plan ahead and follow any signs
• Leave gates and property as you find them
• Protect plants and animals and take your litter home
• Keep dogs under close control
• Consider other people

For us I think that it is also important:

On the roads walk in a group on the right, facing the traffic, where it is safe to do so. Try not to have a split group.

Try to keep behind the leader, and carry a mobile with either the leader’s or a fellow walker’s number (mobile numbers are now in the directory) in case you get lost or detached from the group.

It is useful to pack water, a snack and a small first aid kit in your rucksack, including a blister kit.
Please remember that you walk entirely at your own risk – the LWG does not have any insurance cover in case of accident or incident arising from any of our walks.
