Walk Leader "training"
Our walk leaders are all volunteers and the cornerstone of a walking club, we need to ensure that we have a good number of leaders to ensure the future of the club. This fun event is to give you a chance to see what it's like to be a walk leader, to gain the skills of basic map and compass use and to ask questions of a seasoned walk leader. It will include planning time so that you get to plan the walk for the day (although it will be limited to about 6 miles on easy terrain). Possible pub stop at the end of the walk. Lunch before the start.
Programme
If you're not a member, please email us if you'd like a print copy of the programme, including contact details for walk leaders.
