‘Boxing Day Bash ’
Meet Jan and Chris Buckley in Ogden Water car park, off the A629 Keighley Road at 10.00am for a 4.75 mile walk to work off that Christmas pud! Bring a light snack.

• Most activities are free.
• Dress appropriately for the activity.   Walkers need boots, warm clothing and waterproofs, except for in summer when, boots/stout shoes and waterproofs should suffice.
• Jeans are unsuitable for walking unless you bring waterproofs.
• No booking is required unless stated in the programme.
• We would prefer you to leave your dog at home. If you do bring it please keep it on a lead at all times.   Please note that Open Access land may have restrictions on dogs at certain times of the year, which may not be in force at the time of going to press. Please also note that some landowners have banned dogs from Open Access land permanently (for example Walshaw Dean Estate and Manshead Hill). Where dogs are allowed on Access land, they must be kept on a lead at all times.   If in doubt, please leave your pet at home for the walk.  
• No unaccompanied children under 16.
• Check bus times for 'bus walks' and bring change for the fare.
• The pace of our walks is relatively slow.   If anyone gets ahead of the leader then we will assume that they have left the walk.
• Walks are circular unless otherwise stated.
• We would prefer it if you refrained from smoking whilst attending countryside walks and activities.
