Walks Programme

October 2008 to January 2009

This quarter, in addition to the main club walk, we have also provided two additional suggestions for each walk. These are :

Alternative Walk: This is a shorter or less strenuous walk with the same start and (normally) finishing points. This is for anyone who wants an easier day.
Half-day Walk: This is a suggestion to tempt people who don't feel like a full day outing.
