If you want to join us only at lunchtime and then, at the end, be returned to the lunch stop please phone the walk's organiser in advance, both to find out roughly when we will arrive at the lunch stop and also so that we know that we need to look out for you when we get there!  Allowing for stops and a pub snack or picnic lunch (your choice), walks are intended to finish by 4 p.m.   If you need a lift to the walk's start telephone the organiser before the day of the walk and he or she will try to arrange one.  You can walk with us up to three times before deciding whether or not to join.

Please note the social events and the dates by which you will need to book for them!  In particular, if you are interested in the Weymouth holiday in June, you need to call Mark by 5th May.
