RUNNYMEDE RAMBLERS

Introduction

The Club was formed in 1983 and is a small friendly club. We have about 90 members, although the number of members on a walk varies from eight to eighteen. Most of our members live within Runnymede Borough but some live further away. You are welcome no matter what your post-code. We are affiliated to The Ramblers Association.

We walk in Surrey, Hampshire, Berks and Bucks. Most of our walks are on Sundays but once a month, from March to October we offer a mid-week walk. We walk three Sundays each month, the length of the walk depends on the season. Short walks are usually flat and easy (4-6 miles), whilst the medium walks vary from flat to some climbing (7-9 miles), the long walks being more challenging (9-12 miles).

Members meet at car parks in either Addlestone or Egham (depending on which way we are travelling) to share cars. Details are included in the Programme.

On medium and long walks we take a packed lunch, snacks on short walks, but the mid-week walk usually includes a pub lunch.

Day to day affairs of the Club are organised by the Committee elected at the AGM. The official business does not take long and this gives us the opportunity to make it a social evening. The AGM is held in the late spring.

Several times a year we have social events, plus occasional walking weekend breaks.
