Liaise with WL to agree who will return paperwork to Locker 16. We would also welcome photos of the group during the walk (from the back – so walkers are not identifiable!) and of our presenters.
Walk Leader: Our regular Walk Leader role. You will recce and risk assess the route as usual, and lead and present the walk, supported by our Walk Assistants. Liaise with WA to agree who will return paperwork to Locker 16.
