Note: Even though this event is full, do not be deterred from adding your name to the waiting list. It is not uncommon for 50% or more of people signed up to an event at this stage to drop out.
Join Andrew for a walk starting from the historic town of Malmesbury. This walk is easily accessed from the M4. We will take in parts of the White Walls Way, lots of countryside, usually some llamas and pass through the villages of Norton and Foxley. There will be an optional pub stop at the end of the walk.

Dogs are welcome to join us on this event but we do ask the following:
Please appreciate the fact that not everyone is a dog owner or lover- especially when we stop to eat
Please ensure you adhere to the Countryside Code at all times - see (Keeping Dogs Under Effective Control)
If your dog is uncontrolled and strays in open land frightening other animals or livestock, the leader is supported by the OutdoorLads board of trustees to ask you to leave the event as this is not acceptable behaviour
We cannot guarantee that this route is dog friendly - there may be styles to carry your dog across.
Your dog needs to have the stamina to keep up with the group. This may be an issue on hot days.
IMPORTANT! - Participation Statement
You MUST complete a Participation Statement, in addition to booking your event space before attending an OutdoorLads event. You only need to complete this Participation Statement once, not for each event you attend.
