What we’re about
Chichester Walking and Social Group is now in its 14th. year and since its inception has grown, with average attendance of 20 - 30 per walk. Members are mostly from West Sussex and Hampshire but are welcomed from any area.
We enjoy a variety of activities now, but our focus remains on walking and exploring our beautiful part of England. We shall continue to enjoy the occasional music or curry evening, skittles and of course, the Christmas get together and meal. We also have walking weekends away in areas such as The Cotswolds, Peak District and the Brecon Beacons
Walks are varied, being centred on the South Downs or along the coastal strip. Lengths of walks vary from 5 to 10 miles and usually finish with a pub lunch – for many a highlight of the day. We try to make our outings unique – they are researched by the organisers rather than being taken from a book. Members are also encouraged to make suggestions and to lead if they are happy to do so.
We aim to post walks for most Sundays, interspersed with bike rides and members are welcome to come as often as they wish, tell your friends or bring them along as guests, they would always be made welcome. We are also a dog friendly group, so bring your dog but please adhere to the Country Code where it's necessary to keep your dog on a lead or when requested by the walk leader.
The fee of £2 per person per event covers the website charges, gps system and first aid kit etc. A credit card machine is available for payments where signals allow !
Continue to come and enjoy the walks and events and let's make 2024 another successful year for Chichester Walking and Social Group.
