Amble & Pub Lunch

Status:Active, open to new members
Coordinator:
When: On Tuesdays 9:20 am
2nd and 4th weeks

We meet at the Recreation Ground Car Park along Horndean Road at 9.20am to share cars. We like to visit a different pub each time and to have an amble of some 3 to 4 miles. The 2nd Tuesday amble should be flattish and preferable without stiles; the 4th Tuesday amble might be a little more challenging or longer but we still need to be back for the pub in good time!

Members will be sent an outline of the proposed amble a week or so in advance with details of who to contact in order to join the list of amblers. The list is usually limited to 20 as many pubs are not happy with too large a party. Joining is on a first come first serve basis with a reserve list if appropriate.

Most times the pub requires advance orders for food so links or information regarding the menu will be sent to the amblers attending.

Note that while the amble leaders will make every effort to provide a safe and enjoyable walk, any member who joins an amble does so at their own risk.

You must be a member of the group before you can join one of the ambles. Please click on the Coordinator link at the top of the page or email the Ambling Leader if you want to join us, or for more information.

Just a reminder that we can only enjoy a full programme of outings if members are willing to volunteer to lead an amble of their own occasionally, so please share your favourite walk with us. If you want to volunteer to lead an amble please contact the temporary Ambling Coordinator Trevor Watkins here Amble and Pub Lunch.

To Book yourself on or off an amble or book or cancel your lunch please contact the temporary Ambling Coordinator Trevor Watkins here Amble and Pub Lunch.
