1. Submitting your walk.  Leaders will normally upload their own walks into Walks Manager. Full details of how to do this will be given by the Walks Coordinator when you are registered as a Walk Leader. If you do not wish to upload your walk then you can complete a Walks Form and send it to the Walks Coordinator.
   

• • The form is available here as a Word file or here as a PDF file.
    
  • Please return your completed form to programThis email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

2. Risk Assessment.  All walks require a risk assessment to be carried out before the walk by the Walk Leader: the templates for different grades of walk will help you to do this.
   

• • The templates are available here as a word file or here as a PDF file.
    
  • Although walkers should be informed of any risks before the walk e.g. by email beforehand or in person at the start of the walk, it is no longer a requirement to submit a written risk assessment.

3. Attendance Register. This is compiled when walkers book onto your walk or completed on the day to record the walk attendees.

• • It is available here  as a Word file or here as a PDF file.
  • Please return your completed register to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

4.  When planning walks you are entitled to claim travel expenses and Rushcliffe Ramblers set aside a portion of their budget to cover this.

• • The Expenses Policy is here
  • The Expense Claim Form is here as a Word file and here as a PDF file.

5. On rare occasions you may have an incident on your walk, such as an injury. This should be reported to the Ramblers using their Incident Report Form.

• The Incident Report Form is here
• Once completed, email the form to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Training and other information:

Ramblers have released an updated Walk Leader Handbook, which is a good guide to the things a Walk Leader needs to consider when planning and leading a group walk and draws on best practice from within Ramblers.

It is available on their website here. 

There is also a shorter pocket-sized checklist available via the same link.

If you require any further guidance or have any questions please contact Morag Hunter, our Walks Coordinator, on 07817 339058 or by emailing This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

New Walk Leaders are always welcome!

The programme of walks has been put together for your enjoyment by our group of volunteer Walk Leaders.

If you have a favourite walk, or would particularly like to walk in a specific area, perhaps you would like to lead a walk in a future programme?

Leaders for all types of walks are welcome.

Alternatively, if you would like to lead a walk but are unsure where to go, help is at hand. If you are interested, and want more information, please contact Morag, either on a walk, by telephone 07817 339058, or by email This email address is being protected from spambots.
