WHEN: Every Wednesday @ 1pm.
Note: Don't forget to refresh your page regularly or you won't see changes.
Please note: This website is run by volunteers who all have very busy lives as homeschooling mothers. Not any one person is responsible for the putting up the locations. Suggestions are always welcome for walks/beaches. The people putting up the locations do their best to provide accurate details for the places but as we haven't always been there beforehand it can at times be tricky, so please feel free to use your initiative and choose a direction to walk in or a place to play/sit.
We walk in all weather, so please bring your wet weather gear and /or a change of clothes. Also bring bathers as we sometime relocate to a beach if the weather is good. On beach days we usually don't have a walk, but we swim and play.
