We're one of the 500+ Ramblers groups who help our local community to discover and enjoy walking in the local area and beyond.

We are a very friendly group with new members joining all the time.  We have a full walks programme published at least 3 months in advance:

Thursday walks - alternate between 7.5 miles moderate and 5.5 miles leisurely

Weekend walks - alternate Saturdays and Sundays, normally moderate 7.5 - 12 miles

Saturday leisurely walks - one Saturday per month about 5 miles

Most of the walks are in and around the South Pennine area and are off road in rural areas.  We have an annual coach trip and some social events throughout the year.  A monthly newsletter is emailed to members with information about events and walks.
