IMPORTANT
NOTICE
All sporting and leisure activities have
inherent hazards associated with them
and rambling is no exception. In spite of the safety of members always
being the
paramount concern, accidents will occasionally occur. It is important,
therefore,
that when entering into the activity, each member appreciates that
they have a
responsibility to identify the hazards associated with the activity
and take all
reasonable steps to eliminate or minimise the potential for an accident
to arise.
Our
walks take place on alternate Sundays, meeting at the local train
station in Mansfield. The car park is accessed from the Portland Retail
Park, behind Burger King/Blockbuster. It can be seen marked as the train station on this MAP (ignore the map pin) Parking is free on Sundays. We usually meet at 9am to arrange the
final travel plans. This time can vary, so please check the table
below.
Car sharing is arranged for those
who do not have transport-when travelling in someone else's car we
suggest a donation of at least £4 to the driver to help with
current high fuel costs.
When we finish a walk we usually
find a local pub for a drink and a chat, but if you do not wish to
do this then the best thing to do is travel in your own car.
Suggestions for future walks are
always welcome from members, especially if they offer to lead them!
We meet twice a year to plan future walks. Keep an eye on the Events
page for details.

appropriate OS Explorer map.

Note-There's a map pin on some of the maps. This is just to help
with locating the area and doesn't necessarily indicate the start point.
The 'On your doorstep' walks programme proved very popular and so is being continued into 2012.
