Long Walks
The Ramblers
organises walks of all types: short, long,
country, city, flat, hilly, gentle, energetic, etc.
The majority of walks are in the range of 5 to 15 miles. For those that like a
challenge, below we've picked out some of the longer walks (15 miles and over)
from our walks programmes.
If you're not a member of the Ramblers, you're welcome to come on one of these
walks for no charge, though we do ask that after you've come on a couple of
walks with us and wish to continue, that you
join as a member.
Because of their length, these walks are relatively fast paced and quite
strenous in nature. If you're new to walking then we recommend you start with
our short walks first, and then move up to our
regular walks, before embarking on these
longer walks.
