Overview

A circular walk taking in Mangerton, Powerstock and Loders.  Bring a picnic.  Dogs by arrangement with walk leader so please prebook.

Please call Heather T 07798732252 to book your place at least 24 hours in advance and don’t forget to let the walker leader know if you are unable to attend in case there is a wait list.

Car Sharing: When booking please tell the leader if you would like a lift or can offer one.

Refreshments: Please bring food and drink. No pubs/cafés unless indicated.

On the walk: Please keep to the right of way (ROW) and do not stray over adjacent land. Walk single file when crossing land with crops or seeds and make sure gates are left closed.   On roads walk on the right facing oncoming traffic. Use stiles and do not climb over nearby gates or fences.  Please advise the walk leader if you wish to drop behind. Observe the Country Code.

Clothing and footwear:  Walking boots (or wellies) and appropriate waterproof clothing, advisable.

Dogs: Dogs are at the walk leader’s discretion and should be kept on a short lead around stock and under close control at all other times.  Walkers with Registered Assistance Dogs are welcome but be aware of hills and stiles.  Please check with the walk leader when booking in if you wish to bring your dog.

Safety: Each member has a responsibility to identify the hazards and should take steps to eliminate or minimise the potential for an accident. Any accident must be reported to the leader immediately, who will decide if it’s necessary to complete an Accident Form for Head Office. Please advise the walk leader (in confidence) prior to the walk if you have any underlying health concerns or existing health conditions.
