Walks between 3 and 3 1/2 miles
There are many wonderful walks to choose from in Hertfordshire and south Bedfordshire for which OS maps and books may be used for further information, so why not come and join our friendly and sociable group of people for 1 to 1 1/2 hours of exercise, and improve your health and well-being, with the opportunity to have a break and a social chat during or at the end of the walk. This may be a visit to a pub or café or taking your own refreshments.
Walks vary from 3 to 3 1/2 miles. For people who would prefer to walk a little further please see the longer walks Walking Group for walks of around 5 to 6 1/2 miles.
The shorter walks are every other Tuesday with longer walks taking place on the intervening Tuesdays. In the event of cancellation due to bad weather we will often arrange to meet at a suitable indoor venue for a social chat and refreshments.
The walks are generally circular and we meet at 10:00am at the starting point of the walk details of which are supplied by WhatsApp or email: lifts may be arranged for those without their own transport on the day.
Please be aware that walks take place in the countryside where the terrain is often uneven and sometimes muddy. It is the walker's responsibility to ensure that suitable footwear and clothing are worn to suit the conditions and weather. We encourage members to plan and lead a walk but this is not essential.
