Walking: 7Up 🧭

Welcome to the 7 Up walking group which, as the name implies, provides walks of any distance over 7 miles. The walks will be on the 4th Wednesday of every month and details of these walks will be posted on the programme below, along with the contact number of the walk leader.

All walks will be circular unless otherwise stated. Walkers should wear footwear and clothing suitable to the terrain and weather conditions. Food and drink and a sit mat are also advisable.

Walkers are reminded that they attend walks in this programme at their own risk, and that they are responsible for their own safety.

If you would like to lead a walk during the next year, or for any other information, please get in touch.
