 Another reason for having larger numbers on walks is so that "Sub groups" mentioned by Maurice don't spoil a walk don't spoil a walk for the rest of the group:- especially prospectives.

-If numbers on walks are limited as suggested by Maurice; I believe we will have more cancellations of walks due to "no shows", prospectives may find it very difficult to get on a programmed walk and walks being booked out before the walks program comes out.
