This walk is arranged by ramblers and is free to join.  After 2 or 3 walks we request you become a member of the ramblers. This gives you access to a wide range of walks across the UK, provides assistance with outdoor activity skills and helps to keep public footpaths open.

Do ensure you wear appropriate clothing for the weather and terrain. Walking boots are recommended. Bring poles if you think you'll need them or it has been specifically recommended in the walk description.

You are recommended to carry identification and emergency contact details.

We're encouraging people to book onto this walk via our meetup site. This helps walk leaders to know how many people to expect on the day.

Please always check the details for a walk before setting off. If there are any changes, we'll update the Ramblers and Meetup websites /apps. Please use Meetup, see https://www.meetup.com/gloucestershire-walking-group/events/ to offer or request a lift from Cheltenham, Gloucester or Stroud.
