Will I enjoy it? |
We want to
enjoy the countryside, the company and the exercise – we take our
time and walk at a pace that suits everyone If you are
reasonably fit and generally active then there is no reason for you not
to enjoy walking with us. You could pick a lower-mileage walk first and
give it a try. The Surrey and Sussex countryside is full of rolling
hills, woods, fields and meadows through which we can ramble and
thankfully not too many mountains. We sometimes walk on the North or
South Downs – those walks can be a little more undulating but the
reward in terms of enjoyment is worth the effort |

What should I wear and what
should I bring? |
Do you
need an orange Kagoule and wooly hat? We think not. It’s
Britain and of course that means sunshine followed by rain for the
other 11 months. Wear comfortable clothes and comfortable stout shoes
or boots. We suggest you always bring an extra layer of clothing and a
waterproof coat – you never know how the weather might change.
Sunscreen and a hat are good additions in the summer. If it is a
“morning walk” then we usually pause halfway round –
why not bring a drink and a snack (chocolate is always good)? For an
“all-day walk” bring a packed lunch as well. Occasionally
we stop at a pub or tea room – this will be identified on the
walks programme |
