Harris Hikers Dates and Proposed Socially Distanced Walks April 2021


Good that I can walk anywhere in Wales, but sad that we won't be able to meet as a group until next month.
Welsh Covid Restriction Rules are changing on 26th Apri 2021.
The Welsh Government and the UK Government will allow us to walk as an organised group of upto 30 from 26th April 2021.
I will resume organising group walks in May, with  the first Saturday walk on 1st May and the first Wednesday walk on the 5th May 2021.  
Covid Social distance rules will still be needed to be followed, including travelling independently, e-mailing or texting me no later than the day before the walk, and keeping social distancing on the walk wherever possible.
Don't forget to bring a face covering just in case it is needed.
