How far do you walk?
Usually 8 to 10 miles, sometimes a bit more. Don't worry if you've never walked this distance before, if you're capable of spending a few hours wandering around the shops you should manage one of our walks without any problems.
Is there any charge for these walks?
No.
What happens if the weather is bad?
If it's very bad the walk may be cancelled, although at the time of writing (after 18 months of walks) this has never happened yet. You can check this web site just before setting out to see if the walk is cancelled. When you come on a walk we can exchange phone numbers if you wish, then in future you'll be able to call me to see if the walk is still on or I can call you if the walk is cancelled. You'll also be able to call me if you're going to be late turning up so we know to wait for you.
What do I need to bring?
A drink, some lunch, waterproofs, boots/shoes/trainers/sandals according to preference - bearing in mind it could be muddy after recent rain and we may be walking through grass with thistles and stinging nettles. (Sounds bad doesn't it? It's not really that bad.)
Can I bring a dog?
Yes (but see below), if it's well behaved. Be sure to bring a lead for walking along roads and through fields of sheep and cattle. You should be aware that a farmer is legally entitled to shoot a dog which is worrying his animals. (Please note that when the walk is for Sussex Pathfinders, dogs are not allowed.)
Do the walks include a pub stop?
Sometimes, but not necessarily at lunch time. Often a decision on whether to visit a pub is made while we're on the walk.
How did this all start up?
See In the beginning.
