Wardie Walkers is an informal group who meet on a weekday once a month (generally Wednesdays). We have walks of different lengths, with a variety of leaders, sometimes including a visit such as an historical point of interest. We often stop off at a café. A great chance to get to know people. Most walks start at the Clark Road cycle path entrance at 10am. We may set off direct from there on foot or by car share, bus or train to the starting point of our walk.
