Walks will start at the times given so please be at the starting point at least 5/10 minutes before the start time given. Distances are not exact and may be varied due to local circumstances during the walk. Please be aware that since walk times are planned around Bus/Train Times, if you are late we regret that we cannot wait for you. Furthermore since we cannot guarantee Bus/Train services running to their scheduled times we may have to amend walks without advance notice.
Downloadable Walks GPX Files - These are widely supported by many GPS units they can also be imported directly into Memory Map. You can also import them into Ordnance Survey's Get A Map system. Please note GPS units are Not 100% accurate therefore the GPX data should be used as a guide only.
NB: A Single meeting point is now specified for each walk, this
is to avoid the confusion which has been experienced on some occasions.
