I’m pleased to say that the walk from Winchcombe on Saturday 19th for the most part is reasonably good underfoot but of course there are a few areas that we can’t avoid that are A. waterlogged, B. deep mud and C. extremely slippery. Wellies and poles are recommended if that is what you usually use.  Please…

As of today (14th) the fields around Cricklade for Janet’s walk are flooded and this walk may need to be cancelled. Please check our website nearer the date before setting out. Do not rely on the Ramblers app as it doesn’t immediately update. Sally

You can find them on the Walk Planning Progress page on the Leaders menu or HERE.  Get in early and get the most convenient dates. Please reserve your dates by 18 November. It makes it easier for us if you can do so by this date. Many thanks. Sally

You should have received a copy of this by email from either Ros or Janet a week ago but I have now added it to the website. You can find it under Walks, Walks Programme. Don’t forget to check our message board for last minute changes/problems. We can alter the information on the Ramblers main…

Thanks to a clerical error on my part, the latest email sent out to you with the Printable table of walks for October to the end of the year stated that the AGM was on 25th. It isn’t, it’s Saturday 23. Sally

I have been contacted by the Community Support Officer at Cotswold District Council to ask if any of our members would be interested in leading Well Being walks of 10 – 60 minutes . Please contact me on the contact email address on the website if you feel this is something you may be interested…

We have been giving out Emergency Contact cards on walks for South Cots members to carry in their rucksacks in case of an Emergency (if you haven’t got one, Ann and Sally have some with them). Obviously they need to be waterproof. Keith has bought a laminator and pouches from a charity shop for a…

If any walk leaders are thinking about leading a walk from barrow Wake the car park is closed for 30 weeks, the access road is still available for parking. It’s something to do with the road works.

You can set up an emergency contact number on your phone for someone to call (friend, family member) on your behalf without the need to know your password or screen lock. It doesn’t call 999, just the person you have nominated. HERE are the instructions. Ask if you need any help. Sally

Ramblers members can get this discount by going to ramblers.org.uk/offers-and-promotions then click on the OS link and enter code RAMOSM at the checkout.  There are details about this on p.10 of the latest Walk magazine. Sally

We now have Janet helping Ros in her job as Membership Secretary. There is quite a lot of work involved (mainly caused by Ramblers Head Office’s unfriendly bureaucracy) so it is good to have someone else to share the load. The 99% of you who receive communication by email should have received the next walks…

If you are a leader who doesn’t have a pre-organised backmarker who knows your route but rely on a volunteer in the car park beforehand, it would be very helpful if you could give them a copy of the map of your route so they know where you are going. Another option for people who…
