2013 Walks

This is the set of 2013 Walks - our members should all have an email or paper copy with contact numbers for the walks, for privacy reasons these are not published on the website, and anyone wanting to come along on a walk is asked to send an email to fenedge.footpathgroup@gmail.com which will be communicated to the walk organiser.

For planning reasons most organisers prefer more than one weeks notice if you'd like to join the walk.
