Request a Membership Application Form via our contact page, fill it in and send it to the address shown, together with a cheque for the annual subscription. The subscription year begins on 1st August, but anyone applying after 1st May will be given membership up to 31st July the following year. Membership is restricted to individuals aged sixteen years or over.

You are welcome to come out with the Club on a maximum of two occasions before you apply for membership. (On private buses, this is subject to space being available; members have priority over non-members). That way you will be able to decide whether our style of walking is for you.

You need to be sufficiently fit to cope with our activities. Walks are graded from A to C: a typical A walk might be 10 – 15 miles over rough country, with few paths, taking in several hills with significant amounts of ascent. You may not choose an A walk for your first outing unless you have the permission of the leader. B walks are moderate hill walks or lower level walks in hilly areas, typically a mixture of tracks and moorland. A typical C walk might be 8 – 12 miles over relatively flat farmland, mostly on tracks and footpaths. It may occasionally be necessary to climb over dykes and fences where there are no gates or styles, to ford small burns, or to walk in snow in the winter.

All members agree to abide by the club's Constitution and Rules, which can be downloaded here (Adobe Acrobat file).

We hope you find this information helpful and that you will have many enjoyable walks with the Club.
