St Aidan's Walking Group

The St.Aidan's Walking Group meet each month to enjoy fellowship together and a walk of anything between 5 and 20 miles. Most walks are on a Saturday, normallying meet at 10a.m. at the church (though watch for details as meeting time and venue can vary). Dates for 2010 are shown below.

Generally the walks are between 8 and 12 miles and are suitable for anyone with a minimum level of fitness. Most of the walks are "up-dale" and "across fields" and therefore sturdy, waterproof footware is advised as well a water proof coat (though at times a sun-hat is also needed!). We normally stop for a picnic lunch, so bring a drink and a bite to eat.

Keep an eye on the web site for details of each walk. If you are interested in joining us for any of the walks, please contact Dave Ingram (01482 897576) for details.
