We are primarily a social group and our walks end with an optional lunch at a local pub or cafe.

Our walks start Monday 10:00 within one hour's drive of Bournemouth - so mostly East Dorset and the New Forest. Walks are typically from 4 to 8 miles, with occasional day walks.

Because the number of walkers has greatly increased, we now offer two walks each Monday at 10:00.

The pace is moderate with brief stops as needed. We take a 10-15 minute snack break halfway round - weather permitting!

The distance and level of difficulty vary with the route and will be indicated in the route description.

This is a great way to get outside, make new friends and discover how walking boosts your health and happiness. It's a typical burn of 500 calories - though you may put some back on at lunch!
