Knock their walking socks off with a Christmas gift …to last a lifetime

20th November 2008

Are you fed up of trawling the shops in search of unusual gifts for that person who has everything? A year’s membership of the Ramblers’ Association (Ramblers) could be the solution to filling their stocking this Christmas. For just £27 you could give someone the perfect package of fresh air, exercise and beautiful scenery, all wrapped up with some great discounts on outdoor clothing.

Your gift could last a lifetime by introducing someone to a healthy new pastime and inspiring them to keep fit in the great outdoors. And you’ll be giving to charity as your subscription helps the Ramblers in its work to protect Britain’s beautiful countryside and footpaths.

Ramblers membership is ideal for outdoor types, nature lovers and that relative who has everything. Benefits include membership of a local walking group, 10 per cent off at Millets and Blacks, discretionary discounts in many other outdoor stores and a quarterly outdoors magazine, walk, delivered to your door. Plus members get a free copy of walk Britain, the Ramblers accommodation guide to Britain, worth £5.99.

With hundreds of local groups offering around 500 walks each weekend across England, Scotland and Wales, all free to members, there’s bound to be something for everyone. Those new to walking can kit themselves out with our great discounts, available all year round in outdoor stores with your Ramblers membership card. And children join free so the whole family can benefit.

Ruth Wembridge, head of membership recruitment at the Ramblers, said: “Ramblers’ Association membership is a great gift that will last all year. At just £27, it makes an ideal present for family and friends, but then again, why not treat yourself?”

Yearly membership of the Ramblers costs £27 for an individual or £36 joint (2 adults living at the same address). Members’ children (under 16) can join for free. Life membership is £600 and joint £750 (£300 or £375 for people aged 60 or over).
