Short Walks
SHORT WALKS GROUP
Meets 1st Thursday of each month at 10am
Group Leaders Sheila Abercrombie and Judy Williams
New members welcome
NOTE: Please do not bring your dogs on walks. The group leaders have decided not to include dogs on our short walks, mainly because we often go through fields with cows where they can cause concern as well as to sheep in lamb and wild birds nesting.
