  10. Car Free Walking Group NEW GROUP We are starting a car-free walking group for members who do not drive or who are recovering from illness that prevents them from driving for a time. Walks would be planned so that they are accessible by public transport both in respect of location and time of day. Also if there is an interest within the group and ability to shoulder some cost, walks accessed by a shared taxi service could be included. The primary aim would be to enable members to enjoy the outings so walks would be within the easy range and conducted in a leisurely co-operative fashion. During the winter locations could be planned that include some interesting indoor venues. If you would like to participate or for further information please contact: Susan Longrigg Tel: 07940 937567 Email: splogg53@gmail.com
