All
Ramblers members in the area receive our walks programme twice yearly in
booklet form containing details of several hundred walks contributed by
our constituent groups.
Non-members are welcome to join us on any of these walks.
All are welcome, just turn up suitably equipped (see information below).
If you have not walked with us before, please introduce yourself to the
leader.
Each RA Group in the area organises a programme of led walks which our
Rambles Secretary co-ordinates in order to produce the booklet.
These range from under five miles to 15 miles in length.
Key to programme notes and abbreviations
It has come to our attention that a small
number of the printed programme booklets do not contain this key on
the inside back cover. Click

Safety
Please be aware that
all sporting and leisure activities have inherent hazards associated
with them and rambling is no exception. In spite of the safety of
members always being the paramount concern, accidents will occasionally
occur. It is important, therefore, that when entering into the activity,
each participant appreciates that they have a responsibility to identify
and take all reasonable steps to eliminate or minimise the potential for
an accident to arise.
Extra care must be
taken when walking on or crossing roads. It is usual to face oncoming
traffic, and walk on the outside of bends, in single file. The rule is
to follow the advice of the leader.
