What: Walks start and finish at pre-arranged venues. Pub car parks are often the meeting points. Some of us follow up the walk with refreshment in the Pub, but this is not compulsory.

Walks are at a leisurely/steady pace with time to view and enjoy the history and beauty of the local countryside. Distance approximately 4-5 miles. Most walks within 10 -15 miles of Maidstone.

Boots, stout shoes and wet weather gear strongly recommended; it can sometimes be muddy. Equally, in very dry weather the going can sometimes be hard and uneven. Some stiles will normally be encountered.

Where: Various venues.

When: We did usually meet on the third or fourth Friday of the month at 10.00 a.m. for a 10.15 start. CHANGED TO AN EARLIER FRIDAY.

Next walk: Friday 3 October 2025. Meet: Loose, by the bridge over the stream next to the Chequers, Old Loose Hill, Loose ME15 0BL. Parking note: There is no car park but on street parking is normally fairly easy here. Time: 10.00 for 10.15 Start. Distance: about 5 miles.
