HEALTH WARNING Organisers are responsible for the health and safety of the group. We walk on uneven pavements, cobbles and sets, up some steep gradients and poorly lit parts of town, so stout footwear and clothing for the season is essential. An awareness of the risks of walking across areas that appear to be, but are not, cycle or traffic free is essential.
