Walking

Make sure you have suitable clothing and footwear, and carry plenty of refreshments.  The club’s insurance policy only covers public liability.  Arrange your own cover if you want personal accident insurance. 

If you are leading a walk make sure that it is not longer or more difficult than you have stated on the published programme.  Have a shorter version in mind in case the weather deteriorates.   

Take all litter home and leave the picnic area tidy.  Do not throw stones down hills or into open shafts – you never know who might be below!  Keep dogs on leads and don’t let them hold up the group when negotiating stiles.  Check with the walk leader for suitability.

Lyme Disease (Walkers please be aware) 

Lyme disease is an infection that derives from a tick bite. A tick is a small, blood-sucking mite. Normally it lives on blood from larger animals, like deer, but it may also attach itself to humans. The tick sits on tall grass and trees, waiting for a possible 'host' to walk by. If a tick attaches itself to someone, it will typically find its way to a warm, moist and dark place on the body.  Tweezers are the best way to remove it.  Further information can be found on the internet www.baba-uk.org

Volunteer Leaders for Walks 

We are always keen to have volunteers to lead walks.  Please contact Melanie Stockdale via email here.  She will fit your walk into the programme and can let you have maps and other details if necessary.  Please note that Margaret  Froggatt keeps the club’s logbook and photograph album.  All reports of club walks and events should go to Lizzie via email here.

If you have never led a walk and would like to try, an information sheet is available from the Secretary.  Also don’t be afraid to approach one of the experienced leaders for advice.  It may be possible for you to ‘buddy up’ with them when they are planning a walk of their own, picking up some useful advice and confidence.

Club Photograph Album and Log Books

Tom Gomersall is custodian of the club's photograph album and log books.  He would like leaders of walks to try and do a brief log of the walk, mentioning particularly any amusing/interesting incidents and also, if possible, a photograph. Don't forget there is a club trophy for the best log of the year.

Morley Walking Club Badges

If you want to brighten your rucksack, Dave Bennett has some MWC sew-on badges at 50p each.
