Safety On Club Walks

There are few rules, but these have developed over time for the general safety and comfort of club members.

As we travel to walks in other members cars, we regret that dogs cannot be allowed on club walks. This may also cause problems with landowners and livestock farmers.

Alcohol on walks is also not allowed, for obvious reasons! In fact we usually stop at a pub after the walk for a sociable drink on the way home.

The Club Code clearly states that members should not go ahead of leaders but should remain near them and within their guidance. If they wish to leave the party either temporarily or permanently, they should inform the leader.

The club has an excellent safety record because of its level of organisation and the broad range of experience that has been built up over many years of operation.
