Walking & Social Programme

The following programme lists our Group's walks through to the end of April 2012. We hope you find plenty of interest and that you will be able to join us.

Travel to the start of the Tuesday walks is usually by public transport (these are generally local), travel on Wednesdays is usually by private car (walkers are expected to share the cost), while travel on the Sunday walks will use a hired coach (cost £10).

To limit the search (e.g. to find walks on a particular day or month) please click the relevant option on the menu below.

For any last-minute changes or amendments to any of our walks please check out the programme on the main Ramblers website here.
