For new members
| When are the walks? | Thursdays: Normally a choice of two walks. Sundays: Occasional walks (please check the Walks Programme). Evenings: these are sometimes offered between May and August (please check the Walks Programme). |
| Where do you meet? | There are options for walk meeting points: Caerphilly Station Park & Ride OR as described in the Walks Programme. |
| How do I get to the walk start? | There is a Whatsapp Group for car sharing. Please contact the
walk leader for information. Each passenger in a car share is requested to consider making a voluntary contribution to the driver of 15 p per mile towards his/her costs. |
| Do I need to book in advance? | Advance registration is recommended. Contact details are given with the walk descriptions.You can simply turn up at the starting point but you risk missing late changes to the walk. |
| How much does it cost? | Membership is £6 per year, renewable in September. You can take up to three walks with us to see how you get on before you decide to become a member. |
| Who are the leaders? | The walk leaders are all club members. The success of the club
depends on everyone's efforts. All the leaders are volunteers. |
| Can I bring my children and dogs? | You can bring your children (or grandchildren). If they come
on more than three walks, the terms of our insurance require
that they become members. Sorry, we only allow registered assistance dogs. |
| What should I wear? | You should wear stout walking shoes or boots. In addition, bring waterproofs and some spare clothing. Bring a spare pair of shoes to change into after the walk. Conditions can change dramatically during a walk (this is Wales after all). |
| What else should I bring? | Bring plenty to drink and, on most daytime walks, a picnic. We recommend a first aid kit and a personal information card detailing any medical condition and medication you take. The card should give contact details of someone to be contacted in case of an emergency. |
| How difficult are the walks? | The walks are graded according to the level of difficulty as
perceived by the walk leader.
|
| Do you organise other events? | Yes. We organise social events such as dinners, days out and holidays, both in the UK and abroad. These are detailed on the web-site and, as a member, you will receive details in regular emails. |
