Want to lead a walk?

If you want to organise a walk in your area, please let me know and I'll put it up on this site. Criteria: 5+ miles, with some woods or open moorland for a good run and ideally finish near a pub or café.

	Walk programme

		Our first proper walk was in October 2007 from Ham Hill near Yeovil along the ridge to Montacute (see above). Then back for lunch at the Prince of Wales. A modest five miler. We repeated this walk in June 2009.
	The walk programme is set out here. All will be around five - six miles to make it worthwhile journeying from a distance. The next walk is in September. Just bring some lunch and bonios.
	Provisional dates September 12th: Cotswold Water park, Ashton Keynes: Guy & Sarah, details here. October 3rd: Woodbury, S Devon: leaders Mike & Jackie. Details here. November 7th: 3rd Anniversary Walk at Ham Hill, Stoke St Hamdon, n. of Yeovil (just off A303). Leader Miss Moppet. Offers invited from hereon.

	If you want to go on any of the walks please contact me via the website or at 01823 490782. And of course if anyone wants to organise a walk in their area (five miles or thereabouts) please do so and it will be promoted here.

	Finally a legal preamble: anyone partaking these walks must look after themselves and their hound. Neither I nor the Basset Hound Club (if you're a member) can accept responsibility for any mishap. OK? We're just a group of friends out for a walk who happen to have an addiction.
