Description of Group
Young or older, experienced or new to
walking, Maidstone Ramblers offer a friendly welcome to all those who
enjoy walking in the Kent countryside.
We meet every
Wednesday and Sunday and some Thursdays, Saturdays and Bank Holidays.
Our walks generally range from 6 to 17 miles but we offer shorter
walks in the summer evenings.
On an all-day walk
lunch arrangements are very flexible with ample time to visit a local
pub. However most walkers
bring a packed lunch, as food cannot always be guaranteed.
We have a short break mid morning and/or afternoon.
Some of our shorter
walks are taken at a gentler pace, and on some of our longer walks the
pace can be more brisk. If
in doubt, talk to the leader. A
voluntary collection is often made to help group expenses.
Navigational Skills
training is arranged from time to time for those interested in planning
and leading walks.
We also have a lively
social side with opportunities to spend both a week and a weekend away
with the group, summer barbecues, Christmas social events, evening talks
and slides, treasure hunt and quiz evening.
We deal with Kent
County Council on path closures and diversions, obstructions and dodgy
stiles, in fact anything that may affect the delights of walking in our
beautiful countryside, villages and towns.
