Walks Program
We show grid references to help walkers to find the start of each walk and are including the Explorer map reference. Just click on the grid reference for the walk in question and a map will be displayed, with the start point in the middle.
Our grid references link to the Get-a-map service on the Ordnance Survey web site and requires javascript to be enabled. If you have any problems with the map links please check their help files
You can also borrow our Explorer maps (group members only), speak to Nick for details.
