Southern Walking Programme
From the South Coast, North and South Downs to London and the South East, we have a selection of walks to suit all abilities. You’ll find details of the future walking programme on this page as well as a link to the last 12 months' programme so you can see what you've missed! New members are always welcome!
As we don’t currently publish walk leaders phone numbers, if you see a walk that interests you please email the leader. Where no email address is provided use the contact form and we will put you in touch.

Where a walk involves public transport it is advisable to check the train or bus times beforehand. A packed lunch will be needed unless stated otherwise, although we try to finish most walks with a tea shop / pub stop & sometimes an evening meal.
