Please note:

While we are experiencing sometimes challenging wintry weather conditions, it’s especially important for us to follow walk leaders’ directions and advice. In particular, on a group walk we should stay behind the leader and not assume that we know the route ahead. If we stay together after crossing a stile, and so on, until the leader is ready to carry on, we can all support her or him to ensure we all have a safe and enjoyable walk.
