Our walks are typically planned in and around Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire
When the days are longer and we have better weather, we expect to do more walks in Derbyshire. The weather has been good on most of the walks so far, but that cannot be guaranteed!
Any member can plan a route. Just let the group leader know so it can be put in the diary.
We also hope to continue our tradition of a Christmas walk and luncheon.
