TO LET OUR
WALKERS KNOW
 All
walkers are advised to carry their own first aid kit. Walking at your own risk.
WALK LEADERS NEEDED
We are in need of new walk leaders.
If you could offer one walk a year, we would be very grateful.
Another idea, is to share a walk
with another rambler. I have some maps and walk books if needed.
