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 walk for a while) please read the fileFootloose303 information for walk leaders (27.17 KB). 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.
Obstructed paths. If you come across a blocked or overgrown footpath, here are the links for reporting it. Reporting footpath problems Don't expect the council/National Park to have cleared it by the time of the walk, though!
