January – March 2017Walks Programme

Free, sociable, family friendly walks led by volunteers. No need to book, just turn-up.

Health Walks are aimed at beginners and those with long term health conditions. Under 1.5 hours over easy terrain. Health Walks are supported by Walking for Health (accredited by the national Walking for Health scheme managed by the Ramblers & Macmillan Cancer Support).

Level 2 and 3 Walks are longer, more strenuous and may include hills and stiles. These walks are supported by Horsham District Council and some are organised in conjunction with groups such as Steyning Downland Scheme and Storrington Conservation Society.

A volunteer walk leader will be at the start of the walk whatever the weather. However, we reserve the right to change or cancel a walk without notice. Walk leaders are supported by HDC and we expect them to be treated with respect at all times.

Please wear suitable footwear. Children under 16s must be accompanied by an adult. Vehicles are parked at owners’ risks.

4Sight Walks: for the visually impaired Please contact Anne Tomlinson 01444 456026

Guidelines for Dog Owners

Dogs are welcome on some walks and these are clearly marked. Dog walkers are responsible for their dogs. Walk leader is responsible for the safety of walkers and may offer advice or request removal of the dog from the walk if it causes a nuisance. Please:

Ensure your dog does not run back and forth through a line of walkers. Clear up after your dog and remember dogs may need a drink of water. Keep dogs on a lead in a field of sheep, if you encounter cattle and they come

towards you, let the dog go as they see dogs as a threat to them and their calves.
