Information and Safety on our walks
On all walks we will encounter sheep and therefore the Group requests walkers not to bring their dogs. An exception would be made for Registered Assistance Dogs, in which case the Walk Leader should be contacted to ensure the walk is suitable (e.g. access over stiles, rough ground etc).
All our leaders are well supported within the group and we would welcome new leaders. We provide training and updating events for leaders from time to time, and also mentoring for Ramblers who are new to leading walks.
