Activities


2010 WALKS
Monthly walks are held on the second Saturday of each month, May to October inclusive. These are as much a social event as a healthy-living activity, and we attempt to finish off each walk with Tea. Tea-time is taken in a village hall, a community building, sometimes at a member‘s home or on the hoof, picnic style. The food is mostly a ‘bring and share’ affair, although we occasionally have a catered Farmhouse Tea when there is something to celebrate.
The walks are usually local circular ones from three to five miles in length. We have at least one shared walk each year with Ivegill Footpath Group, which is an out-of-area ‘expedition’ to a neighbouring parish or county. These walks are longer than the local ones, but never more than ten miles.


PARISH PATHS INITIATIVE
Dalston Parish Council is a participant in this Cumbria-wide PROW improvement programme.
Cumbria County Council have a good web site for the PPI. Here is a link to it.


ADOPT-A-WAY
A-A-W volunteers undertake to monitor one or more PROW, or a length of one, reporting damage or problems to the A-A-W co-ordinator who passes the report to East Cumbria Countryside Programme for action. Please contact us to volunteer for Adopt-A-Way.
