In early April, after months of drawing up draft constitutions and consulting with our walkers and walk leaders, we formed ourselves into a constituted group. This means we now have a small committee to help make decisions and run the scheme but, more importantly, it means we have our own bank account and can apply for funding from many more places.
Later in April we trained 10 new Walk Leaders. Two were existing walkers who will be helping on our current walks and the others had come to us wanting to set up walks in their communities. Here are the results of that training day so far.
 |
| An evening walk at the Arboretum - 1st & 3rd Wednesdays of the month at 5.30 |
 |
| A Saturday walk where dogs are welcome at Wenchford - 2nd & 4th Saturdays of the month at 10.00 |
 |
| Another dog friendly walk every Wednesday at Mallards Pike at 10.00, starting 11th June |
 |
| A walk in St Briavels on the 1st & 3rd Tuesdays of the month from the Assembly Rooms at 2.00, starting 17th June
We still have two more to come - a lunchtime walk from FODDC offices in Coleford and a Monday walk in Cinderford from the Foxes Bridge Centre. Details of these and all our other walks can be found at by clicking here .
In addition to these new walks, we have a summer programme of extra walks for all our walkers to enjoy. The first of these was a tour of the historic Lydney Docks with local guide Bob Turner and, yes, the heavens did open! Well done Bob and the six walkers who braved the elements.
