Hi I am wondering if there are morning guided tour on sun morning for example 29 dec from say 10-12pm? Thank you.
Hi June,
Please check the blog by next Wednesday if there are any guided walks for the weekend. All guided walks start at 9am and finish between 11.30am – 12pm. Sorry cant give any earlier notice. It depends on volunteers’ schedules week by week. Hope you will be able to make it.
Hi,
A few weeks ago there were also some afternoon walks on a Saturday. Are these likely to happen again or will it just be mornings?
Thanks
Libby
Hi Libby
Yes, they happen when we have a guide available. Keep an eye for coming ones!

Hi – i tried signing up via FB for the 22nd walk, but i am not allowed to. Can we directly join? Will be me and a friend! tx
Hi Neeraja,
You need to be a member of the FB group to sign up. It’s more to help give us an idea of numbers. No problem, just turn up with your friend or friends. Enjoy!
