Summer walk Timetable
The Goring Gap Walks Timetable usually alters twice a year. This is to reflect the seasonal changes which add and remove any evening walks that are usually included from April to end of August. During the Covid pandemic there have been no evening walks due to lack of leaders and walkers.
Demand for a particular walk on a particular day may lead us to review the arrangements mid season, though this is unlikely.
All advertised walks take place every week throughout the year, as shown below, including Easter and bank holidays. The ONLY exception being when a normal walk day falls on Christmas Day, Boxing Day or New Year's Day OR if there are no leaders available. This sometimes affect the Christmas period.
A walk may be cancelled due to exceptionally bad weather, such as a Thunder Storm. If this occurs, the leader will still attend the start point to inform walkers. This occurrence is very rare.
