Walk leader – Walk this Way... South Downs Women’s Walking Group

Walk this Way... South Downs Women’s Walking Group is a group of like-minded women who chat, laugh and share interests as part of a friendly and supportive group while walking in the beautiful South Downs National Park and coastal areas near Arundel.

They currently have walks on Tuesday mornings, meeting up at various locations in the South Downs and coastal areas nearby.

They would like to offer walks on other days of the week and so are looking for a new walk leader(s) to lead regular walks on a Friday and/or Sunday as part of the programme. This can be weekly, fortnightly or just once a month.
