Sheffield Group is an active and friendly Group within the
Ramblers Association. We welcome all walkers who live or walk in the Sheffield area.
Our walks programme
We have a large and very varied programme of walks,
on Saturdays, Sundays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Distances range from short 1
– 1 ½ hour walks, through 5 miles or so up to 15 miles, and from
relatively easy to strenuous. Many are in the Derbyshire Peak District, but
we walk in most directions out of Sheffield.
We are keen
to support sustainable public transport in the countryside, and so nearly all
walks are planned to fit in with public transport from Sheffield. The walks programme,
found from the Home Page, gives a time for a bus or train
leaving Sheffield city centre - usually the Transport
Interchange, unless we are using trains or getting a bus or tram somewhere
else. If you would like to walk with us, just turn up on the day, or if you
prefer get in touch in advance by email or telephone. You will be made very
welcome.
You should
bring a packed lunch and drinks. Wear stout shoes or boots, and have warm and
waterproof clothing.
Other activities
We
also do a lot of other things. A number of times each year we have a coach
ramble, further away from Sheffield. We also have social
events, such as slide lectures during the winter months.
Protecting
and trying to improve footpaths and access to countryside in the area is an
important part of our work. We have an active Access, Countryside and Rights
of Way Committee. If you are interested in helping with its work, please get
in touch.
