February's eight walks will be led by volun- teer trained leaders, with whom walkers must register 5 - 10 minutes before the starts. Each risk - assessed, exercise - paced, walk is planned to take about an hour. Walkers should be sure that their footwear and clothing will cope with the day's weather and ground condi- tions. Also, carrying a bottle of drinking water is recommended, in case of dehydration. None of this month's walks start in the village, but the chosen meeting points have nearby parking facilities, as the leaflet shows. To ensure that you always have current information about the walks, please pick up a full - information leaflet from the *Mayfield Surgery or the *Library. The present one covers the October 2023 through March 2024 walks ; the next one will cover the April through September walks and will be *available by the end of March.
