Dear BAHR member,

You may be aware that as of 30^th July Ramblers has authorised the restart of group walks. However, there are a number of conditions, based on government guidelines, we are required to follow – https://bit.ly/2Y6eDqg. They are there for our safety and well-being so please take them in…

This announcement is on behalf of the High Weald Walking Festival to help promote this fantastic festival now in its 3rd year. Under 'normal' conditions the walks are guided but this year they have worked phenomenally hard to create self-guided walks in the beautiful Sussex High Weald. You don't have to be a Ramblers member to join so please tell your friends and family about it. Enjoy!

Thanks,

Stuart

On behalf of our Chairman I have organised a charity walk in aid of the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity around the countryside of Hurstpierpoint and Wolstonbury Hill. There is a 3km or a 9km route. This charity is important to our Chairman as they successfully treated his 18 month grand daughter for cancer, she is now a bubbly 10 years old.
