Welcome to Hampshire's Wandering Wayfarers, a friendly, leisurely paced walking group where you are welcome to come and join us on walks in Hampshire and the surrounding counties. There may also be the occasional special walk that could be in a different part of the country or spread over 2 or more days. Walks will mostly be on a Sunday and usually between 6-10 miles (10-16Km). Often there will be places of interest along the way where we will, if the opportunity and time permit, stop and look around. These may be historic buildings, old mills, churches and other interesting and historic landmarks that I hope will serve to enrich the content of the walk. There will be a modest charge per walk to cover the subscription costs of the site and other expenses associated with running the group, this may now be made by contactless card. There may also be additional charges depending upon the activity. This is a non-smoking walking group and only open to over 18s. Please take a moment to look through the Conditions of Membership below: Conditions of Membership In order for each person to enjoy the experience of being with this group, members are asked to read and comply with the following: Conflict of Interest If I consider your membership of this group to be a 'Conflict of Interest' to the group, it's activities or membership, then your membership of this group is likely to be terminated. Using the Meetup Group Site Registering with this group IMPORTANT: Profile Picture and Name Like most Meetups - please register with an appropriate and recognisable photo with your real name. Your profile will be removed if it is non-compliant. Walk Events Events are periodically put on the Group's Meetup platform. When an Event's RSVP is open, members may RSVP to the event. The host may 'Post' an event, however, events may not be 'Announced' to all members immediately allowing regular visitors the chance to see the events first. This may be done if there is a limited number that can go. Joining Walks and Double Booking I'd ask that you please only 'Join' a walk in this group if you intend to come along. Please don't 'Double book' events on other Meetup groups. "UNPAID" by your name This is set up by "Meetup". When you RSVP to go on a walk you are flagged as 'Unpaid' - in fact EVERYONE is flagged as 'Unpaid' (only your details are visible to you) When you have paid, (usually by cash/card on the day of the walk), I update the list to flag you as 'Paid'. Mostly this is done on the day but maybe at a later time. If payment is required in advance, and you have paid, this will then be updated. Removing yourself from the Walk If you decide not to go on a walk that you have said you are going on please change your status to 'Not Going' as soon as possible. Failure to do so may result in you being flagged as a 'No Show'. If you 'drop out' at the last moment, or persistently 'drop out' before the event, your name will be flagged with a '#'. Your attendance at future events may be restricted and you could be removed from the group following three '#' drop outs. 'No Show' If you opt to 'Join' a walk and withdraw on the morning of the walk, or just fail to turn up, this is considered to be a 'No Show' and your name will be flagged with a X. Your attendance at future events may be restricted following a 'no show'. If there are extenuating circumstances for your 'No Show' please get in touch so the flag can be removed. You may be removed from the group for persistent 'no shows' as this is discourteous to both the event organiser and other members who will be expecting you. Walk Postponement/Cancellation It is the intent to offer walks as published on the Meetup calendar, however there may be times when, due to circumstances that may be unforeseen or beyond our control, the walk is postponed or cancelled. If a walk that is cancelled can be rescheduled at a later date then this will be done if circumstances permit. The walk may also be cancelled if, in the opinion of the Walk Leader or organiser, the weather conditions would make the walk too hazardous for safety or unpleasant. The walk may also be cancelled if the number of attendees fall below a minimum required for that particular event. Any fees paid for any event that is subsequently cancelled will be repaid in full. As much notice of cancellation or postponement will be given, however, neither the Walk Leader, organiser nor the Meetup organisation accept any liability for any subsequent or consequential losses incurred due to the cancellation or postponement of an event. Special Event days There may be 'special event' days where walks will be conducted over a longer distance, perhaps requiring group transport to be arranged, over a weekend or perhaps longer periods. Places on these 'special' events may be limited and are likely to be restricted to regular walkers that would have attended a minimum number of previous walks. Details will be made known at the time of publishing t
