Leading walks

By leading a walk you are making a significant contribution to the success and enjoyment of the group.  So, first of all - thank you.  The leader takes on great responsibility, much, if not all of which, lies in common sense and being prepared.  A walk can take on a different perspective when you have got a group of people behind you and so these notes have been prepared to help you.  It is definitely worth remembering the adage: “better safe than sorry”!

If you have not done it before (or haven't led a walk for a while) please read the Footloose303 information for walk leaders Footloose303 information for walk leaders (27.33 KB).  If you are not sure about map reading, grid references, using a compass etc., here is a package that will help: 2025 navigation v42025 navigation v4 (3.47 MB)

We're using Framadate to let people register that they are going on a walk and tick options such as meet points and tea/cake.  Setting up a Framadate poll is easy, provided that you remember to select the right options - here are some instructions: Creating a poll using framadate Creating a poll using framadate.
