Group policy

Group membership numbers are limited to 500 members. To ensure that new members can join, we remove inactive members, members that frequently ignore the rules, or members with a high number of last-minute cancellations and/or no-shows.

  • GROUP PACE
    Do not get far ahead of the group, doing so can cause the group to speed up and cause members taking photographs to feel rushed. If you find yourself ahead of the group, please wait and let the coordinator lead the way. Please stay with the group during the walks.
  • NEW MEMBERS
    Enjoy a complimentary 30-day FREE trial. After this trial period, the group membership fee must be paid before your next walk and within the initial 180 days of joining.
  • MEMBERSHIP FEES
    Membership fee must be paid before participating in any group events. Membership costs just £5 per year (from January 1 to December 31). Additionally, you can bring guests along for £2 per walk each. New members must pay within 180 days from their join date. Existing members must renew their membership within 180 days from the beginning of the new year.
  • INACTIVE MEMBERS (1 year+)
    If you’ve been inactive for over a year, there is a possibility of removal to make room for new members when necessary. You are welcome to rejoin the group at any time, but to retain membership, the group membership fee must be paid within the initial 180 days of rejoining and is required before participating in walks.
  • RSVP/CANCELLING
    To allow us to fill your spot, please give us a minimum of 24 hours notice if you need to cancel your RSVP. It is important to keep your RSVP status up-to-date. Members with a history of frequently cancelling too late or not showing up may lose their spot on a walk.
  • POSTS, PHOTOS & VIDEOS
    Only post photos/videos from our group walks, trips, and events. Unrelated content will be removed. A maximum of 20 photos/video clips for each walk and 40 for trips. Please refrain from posting off-topic comments. No ads, spam, or self-promotion allowed, except for charity fundraising and lost pets or items. Only admins may use posts with colored backgrounds for important messages.
  • NO CHILDREN or UNDER 18s.
    The group is only for adults.
  • DOGS
    Dogs are welcome on specific walks identified as dog-friendly, marked with [DF] in the walk event title. Please refrain from bringing your dog on non-designated walks.
