Walks – Sussex Pathfinders

Non-members welcome

If you have never been on one of our walks, then why not come along. There is no need to arrange anything in advance and absolutely nothing to pay, just turn up on the day and enjoy the walk (if it is an all-day walk be sure to bring some lunch and a drink).

Should you wish to walk with us regularly, you are welcome to join our Club — for an annual membership subscription of £12 (see full subscription details) you’ll get full details of all our walks, together with our Newsletters and the opportunity to join in various social events.

For more details of any of these walks please ring 07842 792962. Please do not send texts as we are unable to monitor this number for text messages.

Please note, unfortunately we do not allow dogs (other than guide dogs) on our walks.
