IMPORTANT ADVICE

bullet

All sporting and leisure activities have inherent hazards associated with them and rambling is no exception. In spite of the safety of members always being the paramount concern, accidents will occasionally occur. It is important, therefore, when entering into the activity, that each member appreciates that they have a responsibility to identify the hazards associated with the activity and take all reasonable steps to eliminate or minimise the potential for an accident to arise.

bullet

On roads members should walk in single file facing oncoming traffic unless, otherwise instructed by the walk leader.

bullet

The walk leader determines the pace of the walk.  Please do not walk in front of the leader or try to "force the pace".

bullet

It is essential to carry waterproof outer clothing ie jacket, trousers as well as spare items for emergency use.  Members must have footwear suitable for rough and muddy terrain.

bullet

Members are asked to carry a first aid kit and any personal medication.

bullet

Keep in sight of walkers in front - and more importantly - walkers behind you.  Contact the leader to ensure that those behind can catch up.

bullet

Walk in single file across cultivated and ploughed fields.

bullet

Use stiles wherever possible.  Leave gates as you find them - usually closed!

bullet

The Group does not permit dogs (except guide dogs), radios, CDs etc.  With the exception of the Easy Access walks, our routes are not suitable for pushchairs.

bullet

Walkers should bring sufficient food and drink.  Pub or Cafe stops are not guaranteed.
