Walks Programme - About the walks
About the walks
- Day Walks cover
8-12km in 4-5 hours. Day walks are always on Saturdays or Sundays. We often follow
a linear route, and arrange cars to return to the start point. Cost £10.
- Short Walks allow a leisurely exploration of the rocks in a small area, and last for 2-3 hours. We return to the meeting point at the end of the walk. Short walks take place on Saturdays or Sundays at the beginning and end of the season. Cost £7.
What's involved We walk at a moderate pace with frequent stops. All walks are suitable for anyone who is reasonably fit and used to walking; however often we leave the beaten track and the surface may be rough or slippery. Walking boots are recommended. Please get in touch if you would like to find out about the suitability of a particular walk.
The walks are graded approximately as follows, to give you a guide as to what's involved:
 |
 |
 |
| Easy: short walk on good paths or sandy beaches | Moderate: not always on paths, may be rough or slippery underfoot at times | Adventurous: walking along rocky beaches, clambering over rocks, steep climbs |

Walk details are available about 10 days in advance on this website (click here), and are sent (by post or email) to everyone who has booked. These details include information about the meeting point, public transport options, the terrain and what we'll see. Many of the walks are accessible by public transport, and car sharing is encouraged.
