Free, sociable, family friendly guided walks. No need to book, just turn-up.

A walk leader will be at the start of the walk whatever the weather.

Our volunteer walk leaders are supported by Horsham District Council. A leader will be at the start of the walk whatever the weather. We reserve the right to change or cancel a walk without notice. Walk leaders are experienced volunteers and we expect them to be treated with respect at all times

Please wear suitable footwear. If you need to change your shoes please arrive early. Children under 16s must be accompanied by an adult. Vehicles are parked at owners’ risks.or email: [email protected]

Guidelines for Dog Owners

Dogs are welcome on some of our walks and these are clearly marked. The walk leader (who is responsible for the safety of walkers) may offer advice or request removal of the dog from the walk if it is causing a nuisance. Dog walkers are responsible for the actions of their dogs so 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.

We are always looking for new volunteer walk leaders and new walking routes. Our programme wouldn't exist without our fantastic walk leaders. As a volunteer walk leader, you would be helping people in your community to get active and healthy.
