Stop Over Option
We also have a nearby walk on Sunday (15 FEB) so you are welcome to attend both and stay overnight in Worcester on Saturday, where we will meet up in the evening. Driving or train travel both days is also fine, as this is not an excessive journey for most of us. Worcester has a Premier Inn, Travelodge, Cottage Rentals, AirBNBs, and hostel available.

Safety:
As with any outdoor activity, there is some inherent risk. Whilst we aim to avoid unnecessary risks, participants should take all reasonable precautions themselves. A suitable pace for the walk will be determined by the walk leader, which others must observe by keeping in visible distance, not forging ahead or lagging behind. Those attending are totally responsible for their own safety. You must be comfortable walking the specified distance in order to attend please.
RSVP Commitment:
Places are not unlimited, so withdrawing in the last 24 hours is not allowed. Attendances shouldn't be compromised by ghosting (no-shows, late withdrawals).
