Walks & Events

Mendip Society Events

Would all members please be sure to carry their membership cards as proof of current membership when attending society events and talks.  Event organisers have been asked to check eligibility in order to be fair to all.

We are now using Zeffy as an online ticketing platform. Clicking the orange link within the listing will open a separate window that enables you to obtain a ticket.  Most Walks, Talks and Events are still free to members, but you MUST follow the instructions carefully to get your full members benefits.

Zeffy will give you a "chance" to donate to their funding, but you are under absolutely no obligation to do so.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO ANYONE BOOKING A PLACE ON OUR WALKS AND EVENTS.

Places on our walks and events are limited.  Many walks and events become fully booked early on and late comers cannot therefore get a place. 

Firstly, please do book sooner rather than later to be assured of a place - But also, please let the organiser know if you cannot attend for any reason following making a booking, so your place can be taken by others.  We have had several "no shows" recently, which means others miss out.

Refunds can be issued if appropriate, but ONLY if adequate notice is given

Walks are graded as follows:


  • Easy. Up to 4 miles (1½ - 2hrs), less than 50m of continuous ascent, mainly low gradients or flat. Terrain mainly undemanding, eg reasonable paths used, little loose rock, stones or large areas of mud or water.
  • Moderate. 4 – 6 miles (2- 3½ hrs), 50m-150m of continuous ascent, terrain undulating but either one significant hill or several smaller ones. Terrain may include small areas of rock, loose stones, mud, minor scrub.
  • Harder. More than 6 miles of the type of walking in the Moderate class, or continuous steep ascents of more than 150m (400ft) or a number of smaller steep hills or more than one of these features. Terrain as Moderate class or worse. 
  • Steep. Indicates that a significant part of a walk is on hillside or involves steep ground - a good level of fitness is therefore required.
