Walking for Health

Marnhull Ramblers & Short Walkers

Marnhull Ramblers & Short Walkers organise regular events to help promote good health whilst enjoying the natural beauty right on your door step.

Dogs are welcome BUT must be kept under close control in accordance with the Countryside Code.

If your circumstances have changed (for example moved away from the village) and you are no longer able to join these rambles and walks, we can update the database accordingly. This is used to give advanced notice to regular participants.

INDEMNITY

This is a reminder to all who join us for either a Walk or a Ramble, that you do so at your own risk.

The Marnhull Ramblers is an informal group that is not affiliated to any formal organisation nor does it carry insurance.

While the leaders prepare a ’safe’ trail they are not First Aiders, nor responsible for any accident or damage that a may occur while out and about.

So, you are asked to ensure that you are fit enough too complete the distance, cope with the cross-country terrain and the pace of a ramble.

For safety – please carry with you a phone number for a person who can be called in case of an emergency. Thank you .
