Welcome Walkers !
In BRITTANY all seasons bring their blessing for walkers. However one should always be prepared for changes in weather.
Walking boots are a must on many of our walks plus some good walking socks.
Together with a showerproof anorak

****************************************************************************************************************
Walks are led or briefed by our experienced Leader and Groups walk at approximately 2 - 2.5 miles per hour.
Interests in flora & fauna can cause unscheduled walking breaks with photo opportunities plentiful.
Many of our walks have historical interest . Myths and Legends figure along many of our routes.
It would be fair to describe our walks more as cultural rambles than army bashes !!

Many of us are taking up walking for our health. Doctors & health practicioners in the UK now regard walking as the best way to preserve our health,and getting back to fitness after illness and surgery.Our principal leader has had his own experience of the scheme which is fast spreading across the UK financed jointly by the NHS & the County Councils.
HAPPY WALKING !!
