Everyone is welcome to join us on our
organised walks. Many members of other Ramblers groups walk with us, and
non-members also come along - we hope that after 2 or 3 walks you'll
want to join!
Walks are planned and led by our members and
details can be found in
our online programme. We enjoy sharing our countryside and our
favourite walks with others.
Shorter walks are usually more local to
Sevenoaks, longer ones may range further away. There are two long lines
of hills near here, the North Downs and the Greensand Ridge. These offer
woodland walking and very different flowers, as well as some fine,
far-reaching views as a reward for climbing the hillside.
Walks vary in length and difficulty. In this
area just about every walk will have a number of stiles. Everyone should
be capable of completing the planned walk and must be suitably clothed
and shod. Children and dogs are welcome on many of the walks (please
check the programme) but remain the responsibility of their "owners".
If you are new to walking you'll be very
welcome to join us . There's lots of good advice on the
Ramblers website First Steps pages.
We walk mainly on Sundays and Wednesdays.
Occasionally there are specials, such as a Saturday early morning walk,
with breakfast at a local cafe.
On Sundays we usually have a shorter walk,
around 5 or 6 miles, which is finished by lunchtime, and a
longer walk with a lunch stop. Some of the longer walks are figure-of-8,
so we return to the start at lunchtime and set off again from the same
place. This gives you the option of a short walk in the morning or the
afternoon, or a longer, all-day walk. Lunch arrangements are in the
programme.
On Wednesdays the walks may be long or
short, so check the programme to see what's available.
Some walks are linear, using train or cars
to link up. Please phone the leader for details when asked to do so in
the programme.
Have a look at our programme and find a walk
that might suit you. Please feel free to contact the leader if you'd
like to know more. We'd love to meet you!
Many of our members like to go on walking
holidays organised by Ramblers and other groups. We also go away
together two or three times a year on holidays organised by members of
our own group. There's a variety of accommodation, ranging from hostel
to 4* hotels.
Recent trips have been to Shropshire and
Samos, Derbyshire, Wales, the Auvergne and north Devon. Coming soon are
trips to the Derbyshire Peaks and the Mendip hills.
