“The Ramblers is a charity
whose goal is to protect the
ability of people to enjoy the
sense of freedom and benefits that come
from being outdoors on foot.”

Benedict Southworth, Ramblers CEO

Over the last sixty years, the Ramblers have
played a pivotal role in helping secure the
footpath network in England and Wales.
The Wellingborough and District Ramblers
will be celebrating its 25th year in 2016.
Since its formation in March 1991, it has
consisted of a committed core of walkers
that meet regularly to enjoy time in the great
outdoors, and to support the Ramblers’
objectives.

Quite a few of the founder members still
walk with the group, which enjoys a varied
and comprehensive programme of walks
run by volunteer leaders. The walks range
from 4-16 miles in length on five days out
of seven every week. For example, the
Sunday schedule can either offer a short
morning walk of around 4 miles or a full
day’s walking of up to 16 miles in length.
The ever-popular Wednesday morning walk
is a faster-paced walk of around 7-8 miles
ending with a convivial pub lunch. Thursdays
are reserved for longer day walks, usually
walked further from home and directly from
the map, known as ‘Pioneer’ walks.

The Ramblers recommend that those
wishing to begin walking should be realistic
about their ability and start with a short walk,
working their way up to the longer walks. A
full listing of Wellingborough and District
Ramblers’ current walks programme is
shown at the website address below.
You will be most welcome to come along and
meet this friendly and sociable group; join
them for a couple of walks to see how group
walking suits you, then you will hopefully be
sufficiently inspired to join as a full member,
which offers various retail discounts and all
the benefits that full membership brings.
