We are a friendly group and we enjoy walks of 4-7 miles (sometimes longer) with most walks between 2.1/2-3 hours and ending at a pub for lunch. These walks are in a variety of locations including many sections of The London Capital Ring. Walking boots are essential as we walk on all terrains. All members are expected to take their turn each year, in pairs, to organise and lead a walk and coordinate the lunch orders.

We meet on the 4th Thursday of the month and we car share to cut down on the number of cars journeying to the beginning of the walk. We try to limit the journey to the start of the walk to around 30 minutes. If we are walking in London, we meet at Three Bridges station and catch the train together.

Round up of 2025
We completed 11 of the 12 monthly walks; the cancellation of one was due to severe winds & rain which was found to be unsafe due to the woodland walk that month.

We have covered a fairly wide area of the south-east with walks covering East & West Sussex, Surrey & London. They have covered different mileages ranging from 4.5 miles up to 6.5 miles with of course the obligatory pub being a relaxing haven, the terrain's have varied from country muddy & leafy paths to concrete towpaths beside canals & rivers. Those in London have usually included historical or geographical information being given from the organiser which has also been delivered on some country walks.

We now have 30 members within the group with recently having 3 new female members join us, and the group has an equal spread of male & females with an average attendance of 14 to 16 walkers, I have found that all members are very friendly & gel very well with each other which makes it an easy group to lead.

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
