What we’re about
Solemates Norfolk Walks is a well organised and friendly group of people. We walk throughout Norfolk on Sunday morning's and you can expect to see around 20 people on each event. Please note strictly no dogs allowed. If you would like to find out more about us then please take a look at the website www.solematesnorfolkwalks.com or joining the facebook page on the website for photo's etc.
We welcome new faces who are keen to walk to try out walking. Currently the yearly membership is £25.00. However, the walks are not a stroll but are more brisk at around 3mph. Some people prefer this but it is an individual choice and considered more beneficial for you.
Additionally to Sunday mornings we have shorter evening walks in the summer plus other social events as and when.
All you need to bring on the walk is some snacks/drinks for a break and to wear suitable attire.
Walking and socialising with new friends is a great way to relax and with the added bonus of experiencing the beautiful Norfolk countryside.
