Joining walks with Medway Ramblers is an easy way to discover your local
area without having to worry about planning a route or getting lost and
is a good way to keep fit.
Medway has some outstandingly attractive walks which many local
residents are unaware of and the Medway Ramblers group could introduce
you to them. But we also walk in the beautiful areas of Kent and Sussex
although rarely further away than a thirty miles radius from Medway. Our
walks vary in length between five and ten miles with the occasional walk
that might be longer or shorter. The walk programme always tells you the
length of the walk as well as giving some idea of the stiles or hills
you may meet. Medway walks are always at a comfortable pace that an
average fit person could manage. You will find the people who walk with
us are a friendly group who enjoy a good chat as they walk. Except on
the shortest walks we have a coffee or a snack-break/picnic and on
longer walks sometimes both!
Our walks are mostly on Sundays starting in the morning. Times of starts
can be found in the programme along with the name of the walk leader,
the starting point and a contact number if you want to find out more
about the walk or introduce yourself before hand.
The group also organise a variety of social events during the course of
the year. There is an annual Bat and Trap game (What's Bat & Trap? A
remarkably easy going traditional Kentish pub game.) Other events
include visits to breweries and vineyards as well as occasional talks by
specialists and professionals on walking related matters. During the
summer we arrange group walking holidays in conjunction with trusted
professional organisations which you are welcome to join.
Medway Ramblers willingly co-operate with Medway Council in organising
footpath audits and footpath clearing but it is not a requirement to
take part in this in order to walk with the group. We will be happy to
see you to just join us in the walks that interest you. |
