WIVEY WALKERS
If you enjoy walking around Wiveliscombe and the surrounding area, why not join Wivey Walkers? We are a friendly, informal group and there are numerous walks each month usually on Wednesdays and Saturdays. We aim to offer a range and variety of walks starting either in Wivey Square or further afield, for example in the Brendon Hills, Exmoor, Quantocks or Blackdowns. Walks vary in length and pace from 5 to 10 miles and are subject to weather conditions and terrain and may change. Walking boots or strong shoes are advised, and we usually stop for coffee and again for a picnic lunch so do bring refreshments along.
We welcome all ages and ask that under 18s are accompanied by an adult who will be responsible for them. Dogs on leads are welcome on most walks but please check with the leader when booking.
Gentle Walks: Alongside the main walking group, shorter and less challenging routes between 2 and 4 miles long are available through the Gentle Wivey Walkers. This group meets once a fortnight, usually on a Wednesday afternoon, but the day of the week, meeting point and time can vary. The walks are quite leisurely and a brief description of the route is given in advance by email, with an indication of the degree of difficulty in terms terrain, gradient, stiles etc. Ideal for less vigorous walkers as well as those recovering from injury or surgery, with a variety of routes and different walk leaders, and an optional last stop which is usually a cuppa in a local hostelry. More information and details are available from the Gentle Walkers coordinators, Ros and Annie, on walkergentle3@gmail.com
There is no membership charge and we are covered by public liability insurance. We do however ask new walkers to sign a disclaimer form accepting personal responsibility.
If you have a favourite walk you would like to share do get in touch. We are always pleased to discover new walks and welcome new members and leaders.
We look forward to seeing you on a walk very soon – here’s the latest walking schedule: WW Schedule February – April 2025-1
