General

 

As these walks are planned up to 6 months in advance and there could be late changes it is suggested that walkers contact hertfordshireway@gmail.com or the walk leader closer to the scheduled date.

​

All walks start at 10am unless otherwise stated and generally finished by 4pm. Most of the walks are within Hertfordshire but from time to time we "stray" into neighbouring counties.

All are welcome on the walks (but no dogs please) and we would recommend that you join The Friends in order to be covered by our group insurance. Children and vulnerable adults must be accompanied by a responsible adult.

​

Please remember whenever you have to leave your car in a residential area park it with due consideration for those who live there.
