IMPORTANT INFORMATION Please arrive at least 15 minutes before the start of all walks to allow for registration, pu ing boots on, etc.

The finish times of the walks are approximate as the duration may depend on the number of walkers, crossing stiles, etc.

If you cannot a end a walk please let the leader or Visit Garstang staff know in good time so if there are reserves on the list they can be given the chance to a end the walk.

Unfortunately dogs are not allowed on guided walks unless stated in the walk description. This is because many of the walks cross farmland containing livestock or ground nesting birds. Dogs are allowed only on some of the health walks and legstretchers, but dogs must be kept under close control at all times

and on a lead on request by the leader, and you must clean up after them.

Please check the suitability of the route for your dog before you a end.

On some walks transport will be provided which is why the cost of these walks is higher.

Please wear suitable clothing and footwear to cater for all weather conditions, including conditions underfoot and bring a drink (particularly on the longer walks).

Please bring any medication you may need during the walk.

For some walks there may be items such as binoculars, a camera, a drink, and a packed lunch etc. to bring with you. You will be given this information when you book, or if the walk is not bookable, details will be given in this brochure.
