Top Tips �

- for Walkers during the ‘Walking Through Spring’ event

• Bring refreshments and some snacks/ packed lunch to eat before/after your walk.

• Wear layers or bring a waterproof – so you are dressed whatever the weather.

• If not driving, bring a bus timetable so you know what time your next bus is.

• Leave nothing but your footprints and take any rubbish home.

• Many of the walks are circular but some start at one place and finish at another. Make sure that you can get back!

• Most of the guides are happy to have well behaved dogs on leads, but please check before you come along.

• Bring a camera so you can take pictures of what you see along the way and binoculars for bird lovers.
