THE FIVE BANANA WALKERS

Hello!  The Five Banana Walkers are a group who meet on a Friday morning throughout the year.  We walk anywhere in Cornwall so are constantly able to explore new routes as well as revisit old favourites.  The walks can be anything between four or six miles, but we expect people to be fit enough to go a bit further if plans go a little pear-shaped.  This doesn’t happen often, but occasionally we find paths have been blocked or on one occasion had been built over!

All members  of the group take turns in leading the walks which means we have a very varied programme, some favouring coastal paths and some favouring areas with historical interest. Within the group we have people with knowledge of birds, plants, industrial heritage and one person able to translate  Cornish place names to us, so there  is always something new to be learned as well as the joy of just walking in such a beautiful county.

We start walking at 10.15 a.m. and stop for a ‘banana break’ about half way.  After the walk some of us will repair to a local pub or cafe, but this is not part of the walk and purely an optional extra, but all are welcome.  A word of caution – we do not take dogs or children with us!  Details of each walk are sent out about five days in advance and people are asked to ‘book in’ if they plan to join us.

We are a very friendly group who just enjoy being out and about, chatting socially, making new friendships and exploring the countryside.  And why FIVE BANANAS?   To find the answer to that you will need to come along and join in.
