Waterways Walks
Programme
2007
The IWPS Waterways Walks offer a splendid opportunity to look at
Britains waterways network. These ambles are very informal and will be
enjoyed by anyone with and interest in our waterway heritage.
Times of Walks
We usually start at around 10.00 am and aim to finish at 4.00 pm, the
length of the walk being about 6-8 miles. All walks are on Saturdays
unless otherwise stated.
Clothing
Although towpaths offer easy walking, they can be muddy and uneven.
We therefore recommend that stout boots or shoes are worn. Similarly the
unpredictability of the British weather makes the carrying of waterproof
clothing advisable
Midday Break
We aim to take a lunch break at midday, hopefully in the vicinity of a pub,
but as this is not always possible a packed lunch should be brought.
Transport Arrangements
Transport back to the start is normally by private cars which we have
placed previously, but if public transport is convenient we may use it.
Notice of Forthcoming walks
A broad sheet giving full details of the next walk is sent to everyone on
the mailing list two weeks before it takes place.
Important
Those intending to walk must confirm with the organiser on the previous
evening
