For all the walks people need to be reasonably able walkers. They should bring waterproof and warm clothing including waterproof trousers or gaiters for walking through wet vegetation. Brightly coloured or high-vis clothing is advisable since all sections have some road walking. They also need snacks, at least 1 litre of water, sensible walking shoes or boots they have walked long distances in before, a mobile phone with charge in it, and someone to pick them up from the end of the route if they are not leaving a car there.
All ages welcome, dogs must be on a short lead at all times. As these walks will be at the end of Summer and approaching Autumn, they may be subject to changes due to weather. Have a quick look at the 'Advice for Pilgrims' tab on the website.
