ABOUT WOKING RAMBLERS

Woking Ramblers are a diverse group of individuals who enjoy walking through the countryside observing, appreciating and discussing a wide range of topics. Naturally we don't all agree but the pair ahead or behind (delayed by the last stile) will be discussing something different (or nothing at all) and over several miles of Surrey terrain the variety can be enormous.

Find some comfortable boots and join us on a walk:- picnic lunches of your individual choice are the norm on full day walks with a quick pint at a pub at half time, if there is a convenient hostelry. All very good for you. Average physical speed 2.5 mph:- mental speed phenomenal!

Woking Ramblers are particularly fortunate in having many varied paths available to walk. With the countryside becoming used for many things:- Army training grounds, crop growing, golf courses, industrial and residential development, walkers need to keep up the use of the rights of way.

The Group organises full-day and half-day walks on various days of the week to give everybody a chance to join in. Every Sunday there is at least one walk with distances ranging from 10 to 16 miles.

In the summer we may go as far as the South Downs, the Chilterns or the Berkshire Downs, but with the shorter days in winter we tend to stay closer to home. We sometimes meet at Horsell Rise in Woking, or Pyrford Common Car Park in order to share cars - a meeting time will be indicated against these walks in the programme.
