All are welcome and if you are a Ramblers member you will be able to vote for your committee for the next year. This is also your opportunity to put your name forward to be involved in the running of Hike Norfolk. You can sign up to the AGM event separately here [https://www.meetup.com/hikenorfolk/events/311532293](https://www.meetup.com/hikenorfolk/events/311532293)

**Walk specific health and safety**: There are no stiles/cattle on this route. If it rains in the days before the walk certain areas may be muddy. At the time of recceing, all footpaths were clear and there were no thistles and brambles.

**Other important and useful general information**

* **Cost**
Hike Norfolk are part of the Ramblers Charity so if you are a Ramblers member this event is free. Please bring your membership card or a photo showing your card and membership number to all events as we do spot checks periodically. New members are welcome to try any 3 Ramblers events before joining. You can join here [Join the Ramblers](https://www.ramblers.org.uk/membership).
* **Guests**
If you are a Ramblers member and would like to bring a guest as a potential new member who is not already on meetup, then please either let the host know in advance the name of your guest, either by direct message or by commenting in the event. Guests can come to 3 events before joining.
* **Toilets**
Some of our walks have access to toilets at the start and sometimes on route. However, in the main, it's a case of using nature's toilet. If you wish to use the facilities, please let the back marker know and they will ensure you don't get left behind and allow you to catch up with the group.
* **If there is an injury or problem during a walk**
Please let one of the walk leaders or back marker know asap. Do not try to deal with it by yourself.
* **What to do when walking past live stock**
Try to be as quiet as possible and do not make loud or sudden movements. Always follow the instructions given by the walk leader.
* **What if I am struggling on a walk?**
It is very important that we stay together as a group so please do not allow gaps to form and stay close to the person in front. If the person in front is slowing up and a gap starts forming then please pass them and catch up. If you are struggling for whatever reason please let the nearest leader near you know or let the back marker know asap so that we can help. Never leave the walk without letting a leader know.
* **Questions**
If you have any questions please either message the event host directly (usually the quickest way to get a response), or comment in the event description (2nd quickest), or send an email to hikenorfolk@gmail.com.
