Hello and Welcome
Shire Nomads Walking Group Programme

If you are looking to join a fun, friendly group of social walkers, our group is for you.
All of our walks are:
* FREE to attend, unless otherwise stated
* Set at a moderate pace and cover a distance of up to 5 miles
* Led by fully trained walk leaders
The walks are suitable for anyone able to walk for up to 5 miles – 3 hours mostly without stopping.
The aim is to walk for up to 3 hours at a reasonable pace and cover between 4-5miles. The walks are varied with some local and others further afield. We like to stop for tea/coffee at a café during or after walks when possible. Please bring money for refreshments and travel costs.
