Monthly report from the club’s chairman
For the last three months I seem to have talked about nothing else other than the extreme hot weather conditions and, as we enter August, nothing seems to have changed. Sunscreen, sunglasses, sunhats and sleepless nights are becoming the ‘new norm’. … Read More
June was dominated by two of our favourite annual events. The first, a Club holiday to Arnside with twelve excellent walks for members to choose from and the second, the Evesham Walking Festival.… Read More
Many of you will have seen and read in the local newspapers and bulletins articles about the successful recent visit of Bush Craft expert Ray Mears to the Evesham area. What you may not have read about is the huge part that Evesham Rambling Club played in running this event.… Read More
As we say goodbye to April we can reflect on what a glorious month it has been – no April showers, just wonderful warm sunny days.
However, it wasn’t just the beautiful daffodils followed by vibrant bluebells that we have seen emerge in all their glory; large quantities of suntan oil have also appeared (two months early) soothing our ever reddening faces and arms due to glorious sunshine!… Read More

Hello and welcome to my final Chair’s Corner. Thankfully, we’re starting to see the signs of spring with trees coming to bud, daffodils blooming and daylight hours gradually increasing.

Happy New Year! What a lovely wintery start – colder air, frost and snow – a dramatic change to the wet and muddy rambling conditions of last December. Hopefully, you’ve all had time to ‘chill’ and enjoy the festive season or simply taken time out to think and reflect (I’ve done a bit of both).… Read More
What happened to 2025? Time seems to fly past very quickly as we approach December and we hurtle towards the shortest day and longest night of the year. It’s also a time of reflection. November saw a shift in the walking conditions or our rambles – from very dry and warm/hot to wind and rain and the need for gaiters!… Read More
And so we reach the penultimate month of the Gregorian calendar year, November. We’re still experiencing the glories and colours of the Autumn season whilst aware that daylight hours are shortening and temperatures reducing. … Read More
