Walking Programme 2022
CORONAVIRUS
Government restrictions in England have now been relaxed (NB different rules apply to activities in Wales), and we no longer have to limit numbers, carry out formal risk assessments or keep records, so it is no longer necessary to book places on WebCollect. However we still ask people to be mindful of their own and others' safety, and to observe good hygiene practice and social distancing, where possible.
Please do not attend if you show symptoms of Covid, or if you or someone you live with has tested positive.

Please respect the countryside and follow the Countryside Code
Dogs
Many club members like to bring their dogs along, and provided they are well-behaved and kept under control this is not usually a problem. Dogs may be excluded from CRoW Access Land (except on rights of way). Please check for any restrictions before bringing your dog.
Please remember that even where there are no bird restrictions, your dog may disturb ground-nesting birds,and other wildlife as well as farm animals. Dogs found worrying farm animals could be shot. The Countryside Code has some specific advice for dog walkers.
Please always clean up after your dog.
