We welcome visitors and
non-members on our group walks. We are a friendly group of people with various
backgrounds and interests but with the common one of enjoying a good walk. Most
group walks attract between 8 to 20 walkers of varying age and ability. Why not
come and join us?
Details of the walk leaders can
be found in the group address issue of Walk West the B&W Newsletter (For group members only).
If you do a group walk please feel free to
submit a short report and any photographs for publication on this page.
Please bring packed lunch as we do not
normally
visit pubs.
