The choice is yours

Walking: The maximum group size on this walking weekend will be 18, including the leaders. There will be a choice of walk on Saturday. Both walks involve some uphill climbs but nothing too strenuous. The shorter walk will be around 3-5 miles and the longer walk will be around 6-8 miles. On Sunday we will all walk together, the walk will be around 4-5 miles. The walking will be based on the abilities of the group.

Riding: Some of you may prefer to visit the nearby stables and choose to ride instead of walk – the stable can cope with all levels of ability from beginner to experienced. (Please let us know when booking so we can pre-book your ride).
