ABOUT THE WEST MENDIP WALKERS
West Mendip Walkers is a sub-group of Mendip Ramblers. We have a vibrant and expanding membership and new walkers are always welcome. Our weekly Thursday walks take place over the whole of the Mendips and often beyond, including South Somerset, Dorset and Wiltshire. We also organise two day trips further afield, for example to Exmoor, Dartmoor and the Malverns. We have a combination of longer (10-12 miles) and shorter (7-9 miles) walks each month. We walk at a brisk pace and have brief stops for water and lunch and usually end up at a pub or cafe as we are a very social group. Walkers are welcome to bring well behaved dogs.
The activities of the group are overseen by a steering group, and each month's walk descriptions with approximate distances are published a month in advance. We encourage all members to take their turn leading walks, typically two per year. We ask everyone to register for walks with the walk leader. Each walk leader's name, email address and mobile phone number will be published with the walk descriptions provided they have given consent for this.
