An opportunity for ALL members but especially those registered for the Lowland Leader qualification, or those who have completed training, as well as those who are qualified, to practise and develop their leadership, group management and navigation skills as well as sharing knowledge on flora, fauna and the environment.  A great opportunity to familiarise yourself with this section of the North Downs Way, whilst covering skills required by a lowland leader along the way.
