A Green Guide for groups of walkers

Walking groups come in many different forms. Though most people’s concept of a group tends to be one of university clubs, the military or outdoor centres, even a small informal gathering of friends could be perceived by others as a group. It’s important to remember that beginners and groups have as much right to walk in the hills as individuals. Indeed, many walkers are likely to have started out by joining a group even if they are no longer part of one. This booklet aims to give guidance on how all types of group, including informal ones, can minimise their impact whilst out in the hills.
