Walking groups
Whether you walk regularly at the moment or are a bit of a novice to walking or just want to meet some new companions to walk with, we think you will find us a friendly and welcoming club.
The club is nationally based with most members being in their forties and fifties but there are no age limits with attitude being more important than physical age. About three-quarters of our members are single.
