General information:
Ramblers' members who are fully paid up and engaged on RA activities are automatically protected by the Association's public liability insurance in respect of legal liability for injury to persons and damage to property of third parties caused by negligent acts. It should be noted that the Association does not have any policy which covers individual members in the event of personal accidents. Such cover is the responsibility of the individual.

Walkers are expected to remain behind the leader and to follow any instructions they might be given. Participants with concerns about the conduct of a particular walk should inform the Walks Programme Secretary, currently Owen Star.

Dogs on leads are usually welcome but please ring leader beforehand to confirm. All routes can be muddy after rain. The overall pace, including stops, is about 2 miles per hour. A somewhat slower pace is used on Thursday walks, and for walks in excess of 9 miles a slightly faster pace is common. Bring a packed lunch (20-30 mins) and fluid for one or two drinks stops (10 mins).

Transport
The starting times for walks, and their locations and Ordnance Survey map grid references (GR), are listed in the programme below.
Car-pooling is encouraged and so meeting times at Princes Road Car Park in Wells (PRCP) are also indicated. Passengers should pay 6p per mile per person to the driver.

Thursday Walks:
Designed to be short (5 or 6 miles) and leisurely they particularly appeal to new or potential members who wish to try us out, and to those who have concerns about stamina or fitness. New leaders are always most welcome!
