Sheffield Group of the Ramblers Walking Out in Sheffield Learn about the area, come alone or with your friends, meet some new people and get some exercise. You’ll enjoy it – and you’ll feel the difference! The walks are short, easy, safe and free. (Most walks include a short bus or train journey – fare payable.) There’ll be someone to show you the way, and there’s no need to hurry – we’ll make sure that we’re walking at a pace that’s comfortable for you. You don’t need any special equipment: just wear comfortable shoes, bring a coat in case it rains, and a sandwich and a drink. Some walks are suitable for buggies and wheelchairs – please phone for details. So why not join us? Come along and find out how Walking Out can benefit you.
