Herts Weekend Walkers

Herts Weekend Walkers - Walk Submission Form

HWW is a group in which its members give up their own time to lead walks for the benefits of the rest of the group.  We normally only accept walks from HWW members who walk regularly with the group (on average at least once or twice a month) and understand the group's ethos.  

When submitting a walk to be considered for our programme, please check which dates are available.  We try not to have walks in the same area on dates that are close together. We are keen to encourage 'figure-of-eight' walks which enable shorter and longer options, as these are attractive to people new to walking or those who have limited free time. There is a cut-off time of no later than 8.00pm on the Tuesday preceding the weekend walk, though longer notice is a help to the walks co-ordinator.

Thank you for contributing your walk to our programme.

Fields Marked with a * are mandatory and the ? provides guidance. 

Ideally no more than 140 words. Use this to promote the walk to its best advantage. Include description of terrain, whether circular or linear, and any points of interest. Mention if there is the opportunity for a drink and/or food at the end and any other information that may be of use, such as where to park.
State where to meet (this does not necessarily need to be a recommendation about where to park, but that might be helpful)
Grid references can be found by inputting the start point using the postcode at www.streetmap.co.uk and then going to the link which states “Click here to convert co-ordinates”. The grid reference is to the right of “LR” and is in the format “XXnnnnnn”.
