FRONTPAGE_NO_TRANSLATION_AVAILABLE

All our walks are led by volunteers and are planned one week in advance.  If you don't see an itinerary on our homepage, that means no one has proposed anything yet.  And if one is not posted by Saturday, you can safely assume that there is no walk the following day.

We communicate via our website and we do not maintain a mailing list.

  • Show up PUNCTUALLY (no later than 10 minutes after the meeting time) at the meeting point of the walk.
