Changes to Friday and Sunday walks
Given the growing seriousness of the Covid-19 coronavirus situation, we have reviewed our planned Walkers are Welcome activities. We have checked the latest advice from Ramblers UK and Walkers are Welcome, as well as from Public Health England. So we have decided to continue with the Sunday walk in the morning but without having a refreshment stop at Bleach Mill. Instead we will find a place to have a short break en-route so you are welcome bring your own flask or drink with you.
Obviously, we would ask that anyone who feels unwell, for instance with cold symptoms, a persistent cough or with a high temperature not to come on the walk.
At this stage it is impossible to know what restrictions will need to be put in place in the coming weeks to deal with the coronavirus outbreak. But we will make every effort to safely continue our Sunday and Friday walks if at all possible, taking into all the advice available about small group activities such as ours.
We will continue to monitor how things develop and will let you know about any arrangements for future walks. In the meantime, Sue and Simon Richmond have asked us to let everyone know that they will not be able to offer refreshments at Bleach Mill for the time being, for either individual walkers or groups. Having said that they will still continue to sell their eggs to passers-by.
Litter picking walk with Plastic Free Burley 28 March
In consultation with Plastic Free Burley, we have decided to postpone the planned litter picking walk on Saturday 28 March, probably until the autumn. Although this is still two weeks away, we think it advisable to err on the side of caution at this point in time about proceeding with a group activity which brings together children, young people and adults of all ages.
Working parties
For the moment we propose continuing with our working party projects but again with the proviso that people who are feeling unwell do not attend. We will review this in the light of any new advice we receive.
