We have scheduled walks, every 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month, usual start time 10.00 am. A volunteer group member will plan and lead the walk (help and suggestions given). Walks are between 5 and 10 miles, usually with a lunch visit to a café or pub. Walks are from Wirksworth, or further afield with car sharing or public transport. Detailed information about upcoming walks is emailed to all group members prior to the event.

Friendly, well behaved dogs are allowed but need to be kept on leads.

New members are welcome. Just click on the blue highlighted 'Kay Mathur' link on this webpage and email with your full name and phone number.

We also have an optional walking WhatsApp group to help notify walk suggestions, any last minute changes, share photos etc.
