Ramble Reports April 2026
Four club rambles in April – and not a drop of rain on any of them. The month saw great walking weather and we even had some ramblers in short trousers! Let’s hope that the rest of the year continues this nicely.… Read More
Dennis’s Diary May 2026
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

Ramble Reports December 2025
We were blessed with 4 dry days for our walks this month. Though a couple of walks followed heavy periods of rain and therefore participants had to cope with some flooding on their paths. All part of being a rambler!… Read More
Diane’s Corner January 2026

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
