Walking
Co-ordinator: Peter Challons
We offer two walks each month, one longer (around 5-6 miles) on the 1st Wednesday of the month, and one shorter (3-4 miles) on the 3rd Wednesday in the month. Both walks start at 10.00am, and tend to be within a 10-15 mile radius of Rye to make them accessible to as many members as possible.
The shorter walk will typically be along well-established tracks, with no particularly challenging features, and, whilst the longer walk may include less well-defined paths and the odd “more difficult” style, this will not be over-demanding, and on both walks we always have a short stop every so often for a breather and water (and on the longer walk in particular some Group Members like to bring coffee and a snack or sandwiches).
Because we always check out the condition of the route shortly before the walk, details are notified to Walking Group Members around 10 days in advance by email – for those who have a “Smart” mobile phone, we also have a dedicated WhatsApp Group set up to help with communication between members (for example car sharing, change of arrangements etc). We typically have around 8-12 walkers on each walk, so there is plenty of scope for new members.
Please direct any enquiries via the Contact page. Send your query to the Overall Groups Coordinator who will pass it on to Peter.
