The Strollers Group, now in it's eighth year, was established to provide easier walks than those offered by the main Walking Group. The aim will be to walk between 2 and 3 miles each time, trying to use routes that don’t involve any significant climbs and crossing as few stiles as possible. The group allows for the members to walk at their own pace. The group can get spread out but there is always a back marker and the routes are straightforward. Walks usually start at Waterside. I
t is much appreciated if those who do own cars are prepared to offer lifts to others in the group who don't. On the occasions when the group car share it would be appreciated if walkers could bring a change of footwear for after the walk to save taking mud into the cars.
Karen Tallant has kindly agreed to be the co-ordinator of the Strolling Group but it must be emphasised that her offer is dependent upon at least some of the potential members of the group being prepared to support her by periodically suggesting & leading strolls. Quite reasonably, she is not able to undertake the task of frequently being the leader. She is willing to organise a rota, & then by email to publicise the programme of strolls which members have suggested.
Nevertheless strollers are welcome to participate in strolls even if they are not willing to ever devise & lead a walk. However, it is a fact that strolls will not take place if sufficient leaders are not forthcoming to relieve Karen from merely occasionally leading.
