Walking Groups

We normally meet on the 2nd Sunday of each month.  Come and join our friendly group for a 4-5 mile walk usually finishing with an optional pub lunch!  Our walks are designed for all comers. New members always made welcome.

Note: Please ring the walk leader (rather than group contact) when booking in for each walk.

See Group Report, below, for latest re travel arrangements to Alnmouth! 

Our annual walking holiday is a regular feature of the LALG year.  It is acknowledged to be of a high standard, hugely enjoyable and offering good value. 

The Long Distance Walkers group organises Sunday walks, usually the third Sunday in the month, for people who like to do a day's walk of 12 to 15 miles, frequently visiting somewhere other than the vicinity of Letchworth.

We usually meet during second or third week of the month, on varying weekdays. Our walks are normally within a 20 mile radius of Letchworth and up to 10 - 12 miles. Typically the walks are circular or figure of eight and normally feature a pub lunch. 

This friendly group walks monthly, usually during the third week of the month and on sequential weekdays to allow walkers with fixed activities to fit in.

Walks are organised for around 25 people and are up to 5 miles, at an easy pace.  Some walks involve a shorter alternative.  Where feasible it is expected that regular group members will contribute in walk organising, thereby giving the Amblers-Ramblers a varied and interesting programme throughout the year.
In general walks are based from a pub where we return to lunch, and are within
30 minutes travel.  Car sharing is encouraged.

Our easy-paced walks are led by our volunteer Walk Leaders and are designed for casual and occasional walkers as well as for regulars.

We meet on the first Sunday of the month. Walks are up to 6 - 10 miles at an easy pace.  We usually take a packed lunch and a drink. (though we try for a pub stop!).

Members contact each other for ad-hoc walks and sometimes there are group walks. 

We meet for coffee, usually monthly, to talk about walks we have done which others may enjoy, or walks we would like to do. New members are always welcome.

Meetings are held at Letchworth Arts Centre, Leys Avenue (entrance in The Arcade.) .

New members are very welcome. 

Generally we walk between 10 and 18 miles in a day, depending on the terrain, altitude and also the location of places to stay. Sometimes we may stay at one base and sometimes we will backpack to the next location. We use a mixture of B&Bs, guest houses and Youth Hostels, depending on the preferences of members. Some are not keen on Youth Hostels, but they may be the only option!
