Travel

Please check train times before travelling. Engineering works can add 30 minutes or more to a journey. The National Rail Enquiries www.nationalrail.co.uk, phone 08457 484950 (Textphone 0845 6050600) is available 24 hours a day with information on train times and scheduled engineering works. For London Underground details see www.tfl.gov.uk. If coming by car please allow plenty of time for your journey and parking.

Bad Weather/Unforeseen Circumstances

We do not expect walks to be cancelled at short notice but you may wonder if a walk is going ahead if it snows. Very occasionally a walk may need to be cancelled if the leader sudden finds they are unable to be there and a replacement leader cannot be found at short notice. This has prompted us to consider how to keep you informed in such cases. In most cases an email will be sent out with an update if this happens, but we shall in future also be adding any updates in red to the programme page on the website for you to check if you are in any doubt, or do not receive the programme by email.

Programme by email

If you provide the club's secretary with your email address londonchristianwalkingclub@gmail.com, we will email walk details. Your email address will be stored on our database solely for administration purposes. If you prefer your details not to be held in this way, please view this programme online.

Christian Walking Club – Name Change

At the AGM of the national Christian Rambling Club in May 2013, a motion was passed changing the name of the club from Christian Rambling Club to Christian Walking Club. The paper programme and the website now reflect this.

Guidance on walking speeds and finish times

Short walks (up to 7 miles) are at a gentle pace with plenty of stops and some opportunities to leave early. Main walks (7-12 miles) are at a brisker pace (approx. 2.5 mph plus lunch & coffee breaks). They may not start and end at the same place, or the route of circular walks may not allow short cuts, with limited or no opportunities to pick up public transport in the middle of the walk. We aim to finish main walks by around 5pm or dusk if earlier, but the exact time will depend upon factors such as punctuality of start time, conditions on the route and the speed of the group, so cannot be guaranteed. If you have doubts about your fitness or need to leave by a certain time, please check with us before coming on the walk.

Walk leaders

Many thanks to everyone who has agreed to lead walks – particularly our new walk leaders. Although we have a pool of regular leaders, circumstances do change and not every leader is able to run a walk every year. We are always looking out for new leaders in order to continue to offer the current number of walks and to ensure a varied programme. If you would like to lead a walk or co-lead with a more experienced leader, please contact one of the committee to discuss it. You could either suggest a route or we have a number of walking books with good routes.

First Aid kits

Although we recommend our leaders carry a mobile phone for use in emergencies and a small first aid kit, we recommend all walkers bring their own basis first aid requirements (e.g. plasters, pain killers).

Short walks

If you would like to offer to lead further short walks or walks suitable for families for the group, please Email the club secretary
