Walks Program

These are the walks and events we have planned for the near future.

We are always looking to extend the program, so volunteer leaders are always very welcome. Please contact the Walks Secretary if you've got a suggestion.

For security reasons this public program is a bit vague. Click on the walk you are interested in for more details (password will be required), or on the name of the leader to e-mail them for info.
