The Stort Valley group of the Ramblers was formed in
1995, the current membership is about 80 strong. The group is based in the Harlow area and also serves the nearby towns and villages situated in the Stort Valley bordering Essex and Hertfordshire.
Our aims are to promote the four basic principles of the Ramblers.
- Encourage walking for pleasure and to meet and make friends with like-minded people.
- Protection of footpaths and Rights of Way for all walkers.
- Defend the beauty of the countryside and observe the Countryside code.
- Campaigning for freedom to roam over uncultivated open country.
Our programme consists of regular Sunday
walks throughout the year ranging between 8-12 miles
in distance. During high summer we organize mid-week evening
walks of approx. 5 miles or two hours walking. In addition
we have the occasional weekend away. The group has also enjoyed
a full week away, each year in the summer, walking some of
the well-known long distance paths.
We remain a small friendly group and wish to encourage like-minded members to join us.
The Ramblers is registered as a charity (no. 1093577). |
