Some Woking Group walks now require advance booking. Where this is essential, BOOKING REQUIRED is indicated in the walk title.

If advance booking to join a Woking Group walk is required, then request a place and register with the Walk Leader using the method specified in the details for that walk. Please do not email info@wokingramblers.org to book a place as this will cause delay.

About us

Woking Ramblers is a friendly group offering invigorating walks through stunning countryside in the western half of Surrey and sometimes, West Sussex, east Hampshire or the Chilterns.

Each week, we typically walk 5–7 miles on any weekday morning, and at weekends a mix of similar half-day or all day 10–12 miles—sometimes further. 

Guests are encouraged to try a walk or two with no obligation, and enjoy the health benefits of walking. For larger groups we generally have a back-marker, so there's no need to worry about being left behind! Booking no longer required for most walks although some exceptions apply — please check specific walk details.

Experienced members lead walks although newer members are encouraged to lead too, with assistance from experienced leaders available. Members have the opportunity to attend popular free walk-leading courses along with peers from other Surrey Ramblers.

Some members enjoy our special working parties to help keep local footpaths suitable for walking. As well as helping us support the Ramblers mission, they are a lot of fun.

We occasionally arrange walking weekends away and optional social events for members. All members are eligible to receive a quarterly eNewsletter via email.
