Good Practice Guide

 

Access:

• All land is owned by somebody and we use that land with the goodwill of the farmer.
• Be friendly and courteous when we meet landowners and local residents
• Make no unnecessary noise, especially when passing near houses
• Be careful not to damage fences, walls or hedges; these are livestock boundaries and are expensive to repair.
• Leave gates as we find them.

Clothing & Equipment:

• Always bring a waterproof jacket.
• Wear walking boots or shoes suitable for use on rough ground.
• Bring plenty of food and liquids for the walk.
• A mobile phone.
• Map

Issues to consider while walking:

• Use a map to keep track of where you are and the progress you are making along the line of the way. Mark/tick off the markings on the map as you go.
• If in group, stay together and watch out for each other.
• Be aware of traffic, especially if walking on busy road.
• Don’t rush, take breaks and most importantly enjoy your self!

NO DOGS ALLOWED
