This title is actually a misnomer as we are a very friendly walking group doing a monthly walk of about 5miles on average with stops where required to admire the scenery, wildlife and flowers along the way. These longer walks take place on the second Wednesday of each month and starting point and times are sent out in advance. Although there are many walks starting and finishing in Brightlingsea we also venture further afield for these longer walks. Bus or car sharing are our normal transport options. Our walks generally end somewhere with refreshments and a chat before returning home. Occasionally there will be a half way stop for refreshments. Walks are planned and usually checked by a member in advance so we are well prepared for any difficulties or obstacles. This means that we can warn members who may find the terrain a challenge. Walkers are aslo reminded that they must ensure that they are wearing suitable footwear and clothing before joining us on any walk. It is your responsibilty to ensure that you are fit and able to complete the planned walk.

Apart from the 2nd Wednesday we also meet informally every Wednesday of the month at 10:30 by the water fountain in Victoria Place for a shorter walk around Brightlingsea. We usually finish at the waterfront or at Bateman's tower for coffee and chat.
