INTRODUCTION
At Cambray we have a walkers group, known as Ramblers and Amblers, aimed at welcoming new people into the church and helping friendships to grow.
We meet for circular walks, usually taking place on the first or second Saturday afternoon of each month, a longer one for the Ramblers and a shorter one (usually less than 3 miles) for the Amblers.
WHAT TO BRING?
Any alterations to the schedule will be announced in the church e-news and church calendar and via email to regular walkers, and with full details of each hike in the church foyer the month beforehand. Car parking is not always easy so it is a good idea to turn up early and shared vehicles can be a bonus.
It is advised that you bring suitable footwear, preferably boots, plus an adequate waterproof. If the weather is fine then you can always leave them in the car! Maps and mobile phones are useful options. And why not join us beforehand for lunch where indicated? Lunch at the venue indicated will be organised normally by asking you if you wish to join a group booking when you sign up for the walk.
WHO CAN COME?
Everyone is welcome so why not invite a friend along? Also, watch out for announcements of extra lunch venues.
Any questions, particularly if weather conditions are poor on the morning of the walk, to David Willcox on 07752 808 989 or Pam Mason on 07975 786 477.
