Organiser/Leader - John Penwarne. No fees.

We walk on the 2nd and 4th Fridays each month, starting in September and finishing at the end of July. There is a short break at Christmas. All walks, unless otherwise indicated, will be approximately 5 miles long and start promptly at 10am. We are a friendly lot and each walk usually finishes with lunch at a pub for those who wish to stay.

We do not confine ourselves to the Haslemere area so walks may involve car journeys of 30-45 minutes.

We walk in all except the worst of weathers and we expect members to wear appropriate footwear and clothing for the weather conditions. We also expect people to have a reasonable degree of fitness as many of our walks involve lengthy or steep climbs. Group members take turns to lead walks and as we walk approximately 21 times a year everyone has to be willing to take their turn as leader. We give novice leaders plenty of support and help with planning and leading.

We welcome enquiries from potential members. If you are not sure you are fit enough we can organise a trial walk for you to get an idea of what is involved. To find out more about the group have a look at our Notes for N5M Members 2025-26
