[q] Walks Diary
Welcome to the Walks Diary. If you are not a Ramblers Association member you are welcome to try a couple of walks to see if you like us. The about us page tells you how to join. Key for grading at the bottom of the page.
IMPORTANT: Please check what you need and ensure you have the suitable kit and fitness level for the walk you intend to join. If you are in any doubt please contact the Walk Leader in advance. We also recommend checking the message board in case of last minute cancellation.
Please thank the Leader, they have given up a lot of their time to plan and lead the walk! Would you like to lead a walk? Please contact the Walks Secretary. If you're nervous about leading ask about our Buddy Scheme. Have a look at the Walk Leader Checklist and take a Walks Roster - found here.
