On joining the Society members are given, in their starter pack, a map of sites in the 10 km square in which they live.

Maps of sites in other squares are available on request; however, please remember that even though a site is marked, it does NOT mean you have right of access.   Please keep to footpaths and consult the relevant Square Leader before entering sites marked.

Some sites have fairly unrestricted access, such as Boddington Reservoir and Grimsbury Reservoir.  If you want to know more about sites you read about in the newsletter please get in touch with any committee member or the New Members Contact.
