Important information for walkers
Welcome to walking with our Group. Below is some useful information to help us all get
maximum enjoyment from our walks.
New to walking? Always contact the walk leader in advance for advice.
Dogs are allowed only at walk leader’s discretion. They must be on a lead and well behaved.
Always contact the leader before bringing your dog.
Always contact walk leader if:
• you haven’t walked with our group before
• you will travel by public transport
• the walk is more than 20 miles from Derby
• you prefer to meet at the walk start rather than DPDCP
• there is extreme weather or other extreme circumstances
Changes to walks: Changes to the longer Sunday walks (eg because of bad weather) will be
advertised on our website and in the Derby Evening Telegraph Saturday edition under Walk Diary.
Changes to Wednesday walks are via text & phone messages – please contact leaders. For
possible changes to the shorter Sunday walks please contact the leaders.
Car sharing/ lifts: Most of the longer Sunday walks first meet at Darley Park Drive Car Park in
Derby (DPDCP, SK349390) to share cars. If you are travelling by car and have spare seats or if
you need a lift please contact the walk leader. Don’t forget a clean change of footwear and a bag
for dirty boots. The shorter Sunday walks and Wednesday walks do not meet at DPDCP so
contact the leader regarding car-share possibilities.
Car share costs: passengers are expected to share travel costs (20p per mile divided by number
of people in the car) plus any parking charges.
Refreshments: Unless stated, all walks require packed lunch and drinks for the day.
Non-members: You are welcome to walk with us for a few walks after which we encourage you
to support the Ramblers by becoming a member.
Liability: Neither the Group nor the walk leader can accept responsibility for any loss or injury by
persons taking part in the walks.
Mountain Rescue: Telephone 999 or 112, ask for the Police then request Mountain Rescue.
Footpath problems: Please notify our Footpath Secretary of any obstructions or other issues,
giving full details and grid reference.
D&SD Group walks: We all appreciate the work of volunteers, in particular the walk leaders. We
can help to make their role easier by:
respecting the walk leader’s requests.
keeping them well in sight (leaders must also make sure they do not get too far ahead).
offering to be a back marker.
being sensitive to other walkers' abilities.
ensuring new walkers to the group are made to feel welcome.
Grades
If in doubt contact leader.
Walks of about 4-5 miles – a good introduction to walking with a group or anyone wanting a
shorter walk
Walks of up to 10 miles but at a slower pace with longer & possibly more frequent breaks
Walks of over 10 miles taken at a good pace
Longer walks and/or more strenuous
