Welcome to our Group
The Great Thing About Walking is its Free ! ( well almost)
Like any new activity people always think they need lots of new kit - well here is some good news - you DON’T with walking. In fact its not “cool” to look like you have just stepped out of the walking version of a Milan Cat Walk - NEC Outdoor Show - looking “seasoned” makes people think that you have been walking for years. Most people start walking with what they have in their wardrobe because they are comfortable with it and use to it. After a few walks you learn what is good for you and learn from other people experiences. Good walking kit doesn’t have to be the latest branded stuff - Decathlon ( Big Sports Shop) and eBay provide a great source of good quality, affordable walking gear.
Further the Ramblers offer good membership discounts for people on low incomes and to save on the traveling we always try and car share …….
So what are you waiting for …..WALKIES !!!
Little bit about about us
We have been walking together since August 2004 and are part of the main Ramblers Association aiming to provide walks for 20’s - 30’s year olds around Chesterfield and the Peak District. We are a relaxed and informal group - wanting to mix walking with other activities including social events and weekends away.
Group Motto “Growing old is fact, growing up is optional”
If you would like to join us for a walk have a look on our events page or on the right hand column titled “Next Events”. We recommend that all new members contact walk / social leader first just so we can look out for you and make you welcome.
Most of our walks are off road in rural areas. Please have suitable footwear and clothing for the walk you intend to join and bring some food and water, even if the walk includes pub or cafe stop. For safety reasons, leaders will not allow you to attend the walk if you are not suitably prepared. Therefore we advise you contact the leader first for advice.
