Notes & Walking Advice |
| We welcome
newcomers to all our walks and to two or three initially
without commitment to joining the Ramblers' Association. It should be remembered that membership of the RA involves more than walking in company with others (and with any other group in the Country). Annual subscriptions contribute to the running of the Group and the printing of three four-monthly programmes each year, to expenditure incurred in footpath work, and more particularly to national campaigns, promotions and publications produced by the Association. All walks, outside open access areas, should, unless prior permission of the landowner has been obtained, be on definitive or permissive rights of way. Please note that the RA cannot be held responsible for any personal injury, damage or personal injury sustained by persons taking part in any activity organized by them. Dogs: Allowed on walks unless otherwise stated by leaders. Dogs must be under control at all times and on a lead when leaders require. Clothing: Strong footwear or wellingtons, windproof and waterproof clothing are recommended.\ Refreshments: All requirements should be carried, especially liquids, unless it is stated that lunch etc. can be obtained on the walk (e.g. pub lunch option). Transport: Members can contact each other or the walk leader, or go to the Crescent Car Park, Taunton, at the time indicated by * on Sunday AM. Sunday PM and weekdays phone a friend or leader the night before if you want or can offer a lift. A contribution towards the driver's expenses is advised, shared at the rate of 25p/mile between all occupants. Security: Cars should be left with windows closed, doors locked and valuables, cases, handbags etc. out of sight. Programmes: 'Hard' copies can be obtained from main libraries (photocopy) or from Wendy on 01823 331058, three second-class stamps please. |
