Eight of the group's ten walks start/finish in Brampton, Huntingdon, Houghton, Godmanchester and Grafham. However, the remaining two walks are from the village Library: • Friday the 3rd at 10am (the “ Diddington Doddle ”) • Friday the 17th at 10am (the “ Buckden Ramble ”) The approved walks are trained - volunteer - led, are about one hour long at a moderate exercise pace, and friendly compan- ionship is assured.

It is important (a) that you wear clothing that can cope with weather and underfoot conditions, (b) that you carry some drinking water in case of dehydration, and (c) that you report to the walk leader at least 5 minutes before the walk starts.
