Sociable Pub WALK: The Lichfield Lakes

Sociable Pub WALK: The Lichfield Lakes

Outside of British Summertime, we can still some sociable light exercise in the evenings, courtesy of torchlight, based on easy routes that don't need map reading. Aiming for once per month at least if popular.

Please meet us inside, 15 minutes before our 7pm walk start (or earlier if you wish to grab a snack first). We will leave promptly and walk for an hour or more (weather permitting) and end up at the start pub for a short sociable nightcap. Bring a torch, to see where you're walking, as we finish after dusk.

Responsibility:
As with any outdoor activity, there is some inherent risk. Whilst we aim to avoid unnecessary risks, participants should take all reasonable precautions themselves. A suitable pace for the walk will be determined by the walk leader, which others must observe by keeping in visible distance, not forging ahead or lagging behind. Those attending are responsible for their own safety.

RSVP Commitment:
To ensure that darkness walking is comfortable and safe for everyone, we aim for a minimum attendance of 8-10 people (and a maximum may also be set if need arises). By way of a politeness deadline, withdrawing in the last 24 hours is forbidden. Attendances shouldn't be compromised by Ghosting (no-shows, late withdrawals, and uncommitted waitlisting). Please observe this, thank you.
