Walk Description:

These walks are a great opportunity to exercise and meet and chat to other walkers. They are of moderate pace with the opportunity should you wish to push yourself a little further. You will walk with a qualified walk leader or master. These walks start at different locations to give you the enjoyment of walking in the surrounding countryside of your local area.

These walks are often lead  by qualified walk leaders and can be from an hour to 3 hours long. It is a moderate  paced walk with a few stops. An hours social walk naturally tends to be  at a quicker pace than the 90+ minutes.
