Hi Danny, the club releases walking schedules on a quarterly basis. The latest walking list for the period January - March 2008 has been finalised and posted out to all club members. Once I get my copy in the post I'll scan it and put a copy up on the site for download. I'll also pop the information into the Google Calendar on the main page.

Sounds like you are well able to walk anyway if you have done 100 mile walks :-). You might be interested in our St. Stephens Day walk. It's 14 miles and everyone does it at their own pace. Usually there's a very good turn out for it (definitely 60 or more participants). It's a good way to work off the over indulgences of Christmas Day and to meet people in the club.
