Summer Special Walks

The Bell at Aldworth Britain's most un-spoilt pub

We will be doing just one Bell Walk this year on Saturday 21st August.
The walk starts from the Ridgeway Car Park, Rectory Road, Streatley at 11:00.
To walk from the village you need to allow at least 45 minutes at a brisk pace. Arrival at the Bell is best timed for just before noon to miss the 'rush'.
If you want to try this walk yourself see The Bell at Aldworth for a descriptive route and map to the car park.

WfH Accreditation

In January 2008 GGHW were awarded the WfH Accreditation, one of the first groups in the country to receive this.
Our accreditation was renewed in January 2009 and 2010.

First Steps

We offer a First Steps walk at 10:00 on Tuesdays. If necessary this can be an individually tailored walk. If you are interested in this walk. or know someone that might be, please send a mail to Bernard. We will be happy to advise on expectations and ensure that a leader is available.

Fitness and the Walker

Local Personal Fitness Trainer Ryan Phillips has put together a Walking Specific Fitness Program.
Go to the special page on the Phillips-Fit web site to view the Program.

Leader Training

We now have 30 trained leaders, but are always on the lookout for more.

Please get in touch with Bernard if you want to join the next group to be trained.
Don't worry if you can only commit to just one walk a month, or to be available as a stand in, that is exactly what we need.
The next date will be sometime in the Summer, according to demand.
