Many of our walks are local half day or evening walks and are usually about 5-6 miles. Our full day walks are usually further afield and vary between 8 and 10 miles and are of moderate difficulty. Distances and starting places are included in the walks programme
On our shorter walks strong shoes and a waterproof are recommended but on longer walks you will need boots, spare clothing, a drink and food.
We have an occasional coach ramble but coach rambles are mosly catered for by other local walking clubs

You do not need to be a member of the Ramblers Association before joining one of the walks. Why not try us out and then ask for details of membership.
