about us
About our walks
- Our walks are free and need no booking - just come along
- We walk on Monday and Thursday mornings at 10 for about 2 hours
- The walks average between 4.5 and 6 miles
- No specialist equipment is required except for good footwear and waterproof clothing. A bottle of water is advisable, particularly in hot weather
- Walks are guided by volunteers
- There are around 30 different routes within a ten-mile radius of Mansfield
- The average walk is attended by 15 - 20 walkers, depending on the weather
Although the main targets of the group are maintenance and improvement of physical and mental health, the development of strong camaraderie is seen as vital to support this. For many walkers, companionship is most important, for example, after bereavement or marital breakdown, redundancy or retirement, or moving into a new area. Others join because they enjoy the countryside but do not like to walk alone or lack the confidence to explore new terrain.
New walkers bring fresh ideas, all of which are welcome. Please talk to one of our guides.
