Walks and Weekends Away is a friendly and inclusive group. We welcome everyone regardless of differences such as race, religion, age, gender, disability or sexual orientation. We ask that all members of the group adhere to this ethos. Walks usually start at 10.30am or 7.00 pm unless stated in the walk description.  Please note that event hosts have no walk leading qualifications and no personal liability insurance. But they may be able to offer advice regarding appropriate footwear and clothing. You are responsible for your own safety at all times.  On the day if you wish to leave a walk at any time either for a comfort stop or to do your own thing, then please let  the walk leader know that you intend to do this. This avoids unnecessary waiting around for the group and avoids placing extra stress/worry to the walk leader.
