All of our walks are led by members who have completed Ramblers leadership training. The walk programme can't happen without them. To find out how to become a Ramblers walk leader contact Sue King (07443 873304).

Clothing and equipment. Boots are recommended for all walks. Walkers should wear/bring appropriate clothing for the season and likely conditions. Walkers are recommended to carry a basic first aid kit. Leaders should check that appropriate emergency and first aid equipment is taken on the walk. Ramblers’ website provides information and advice about what this should include. For example: a bivvy bag or lightweight shelter.
Walkers should carry identity, medical and emergency (ICE) details. (ICE cards are available from the committee.) It is the responsibility of all walkers to inform the leader of anything that may affect their ability to take part in the planned activity. This includes disability, medical conditions and any other additional need which may impact their safety and wellbeing during the walk.
Leaders will risk assess the route and take all reasonable steps to ensure the safety of the group. They will take account of the slowest member of the party when setting the pace of the walk. Do not go ahead or leave the group without informing the leader or back-marker. Leaders are not responsible for anyone who does so. Leaders will refuse to accept anyone as a member of their party who they consider to be at risk for any reason.
If there is an injury to a walker, damage to property or a ‘near miss’, the leader should complete a Ramblers incident report form (available on the Ramblers website). Please contact a member of the committee for support and details.
