About the walks
We offer a wide variety of walks, all year round, from short summer evening strolls to half and full day walks for those who like social walking - see our PROGRAMME. However, many of our members walk independently.
We welcome Ramblers members from outside our area. Also non-members may join us on a few walks as a guest, but we do expect people to join eventually.
If you are in any doubt about your experience or equipment, we recommend that you try an easier walk first. If you have any underlying medical condition please inform the walk's leader. All walkers come at their own risk.
For all walks good waterproof walking boots are needed. Likewise waterproof clothing, together with an extra sweater.
On full or half days you will be expected to take the food and drink you will need, as many walks are far away from any shops.
We use public transport on some walks and share cars on others. When car-share is used the leader measures the distance travelled and collects a voluntary contribution from each person, which is then shared equally between the drivers. As courtesy to the driver, please take a change of shoes and a bag for your muddy boots.
Walkers usually meet at Kingsway Retail Park (Pizza Hut, Lidl etc), LA1 1BS, no later than 10 minutes before the advertised time. Kingsway Retail Park is situated on the right along the one-way section of Caton Road, behind Kingsway Flats (map here). "Spare" cars will then need to be moved to a location suitable for the walk (e.g. Aqueduct)." (At the moment this system is not being used - please see the information on our Current Walks Programme page).
Dogs on walks: Assistance Dogs Only
All our walks are led by volunteer leaders. We always welcome new leaders, and we need more to ensure we can offer a full walks programme. If you would like to become a leader, or just want to find out more, click here to send us a message.
