East Yorkshire and Derwent Area Ramblers

Goathland railway walk May 13 11The walks programme is designed for members of the Ramblers' Association, but potential members are welcome to join us for two or three walks to decide whether to join the Association.

Each Ramblers Group in the area organises a programme of led walks. These walks are publicised at Walks Finder, and on the main Ramblers website. Non-members are welcome to join us on any of these walks. If you have not walked with us before please introduce yourself to the leader. 

These walks range from under five miles to 15 miles in length. To get a flavour of where we walk and distances involved, have a look at Walks Finder. The starting point of a walk is given by name, Ordnance Survey grid reference and indicated on a map.

Please check whether dogs are allowed on the walk - if approved they must be under control at all times.

It is a personal responsibility to ensure you are medically fit to undertake walking. Should you be in doubt seek advice from your doctor. 

If new to walking it is best to undertake a short and easy route -  you can speak to the appropriate Group Walks Secretary who should be able to provide further information. Click on WALKS Secretaries for details.

When intending to join a walk then it is essential to turn up in suitable clothing and be prepared for weather changes. Stout footwear with ridged soles is recommended (even in summer).

Carry an adequate supply of water, taking into account temperature conditions and also some thing to eat. Should you be on medication ensure it is with you. Further information concerning safety and equipment can be seen by clicking Walkers Advice.
