Walks up to 4 miles at a gentle pace (and as far as possible, free of stiles, hills and mud)
Winter walks are normally on hard surfaces or town walks. Our current programme includes London walks, coastal walks and summer countryside walks. The Amblers is a friendly sociable group and there is normally a pub lunch at the end of each walk. Over the last few months we have walked around Edenbridge, Warnham, Shoreham, Henfield, Cranleigh, Handcross and East Grinstead and our future programme will offer a similar variety of locations.
We have four walking groups which provide for different distances and terrain.
| Group | Day | Distance |
| Amblers | 1st Friday | Up to 3 miles at a gentle pace |
| Amblers Extra | 1st Friday | Up to 4 miles at a steady pace |
| Walkers 1 | 1st Friday | 4 miles at a steady pace |
| Walkers Extra | 4th Thursday | 4 to 7 miles sometimes longer |
As o'er the lovely vales and hills - Your happy hikers troop,
Don't forget that lonely guy - The backmarker of the group.
He's gathering in the stragglers, he’s closing up the ranks.
But for all his dedicated work - he gets precious little thanks.
He helps his colleagues over stiles, and stays to close the gates.
He's often left quite far behind, for no-one ever waits.
You can take in all the sights, as you chatter to your chums.
The only sight he ever sees - is other people's bums.
The party goes quite far ahead, then stops to rest and scoff,
But immediately he catches up - the whole lot wanders off.
And when at last he passes on, je knows he's naught to fear.
He’s earned his place in Paradise, Just bringing up the rear.
Bringing up the rear!
