Easy walks for anyone who does not have a mobility difficulty, a specific health problem or is seriously unfit. Suitable for pushchairs if they can be lifted over occasional obstructions. Comfortable shoes or trainers can be worn.

Leisurely for reasonably fit people with at least a little country walking experience. They may include unsurfaced rural paths. Walking boots and warm, waterproof clothing are recommended.

Moderate for people with country walking experience and a good level of fitness. May include some steep paths and open country, and may be at a brisk pace. Walking boots and warm, waterproof clothing are essential.

Strenuous for experienced country walkers with an above average fitness level. May include hills and rough country, and may be at a brisk pace. Walking boots and warm, waterproof clothing are essential.

Technical for experienced and very fit walkers with additional technical skills. May require scrambling and use of ice axes or crampons. You must contact the organiser or leader in advance for further details.

People in doubt about their fitness are advised to contact the leader in advance. Most walks are circular, where they are not, this is indicated.

Coach Rambles take place once a month on Sundays, and offer somewhat more than the normal Sunday walk; the opportunity to visit more distant walking areas, a relaxing journey with no driving, linear and circular walks, including A+, A, B and now also a leisurely/easy C walk.  A pleasant social occasion followed by a drink and a meal in a pub. Do come and join us.

Our young persons’ group (20s-40s) also have a full diary of walks, which you can view on their website here:
