This walking programme provides an opportunity for members to meet one another and keep their walking fitness while not in the Alps.
Most of the walks in the South of England are organised to start at a
railway station with a train connection to a central London mainline
station. Walk start times are usually based around the published
railway timetables. Be aware that these times can change at short notice
due to essential railway maintenance work, so please check before you
set out.
If severe weather warnings are given, contact the designated walk leader or the AAC(UK) Office beforehand.
Most of the Southern walks, have a pub stop for lunch, followed by the second stage of the walk in the afternoon. Please do not consume your own food or drink at the pubs. Pubs often prefer you to remove your boots, or put plastic bags over them.
Do you need to book for a Day Walk? – Yes, please book by emailing the leader. We made booking compulsory during the Covid-19 pandemic, in order to limit numbers, and have decided to continue with this on a permanent basis, so that leaders know who to expect and can contact participants about any last-minute changes or cancellation, e.g. as a result of railway engineering works or adverse weather conditions.
The current Ordnance Survey Maps are indicated by their number, prefaced by: LR (Land Ranger) for 1:50,000 maps, and E (Explorer) or OL (Outdoor Leisure) for 1:25,000 maps.
