Our Walks Programme

We organise Saturday, Sunday and Thursday rambles plus Wednesday “Sunset Strolls” during the lighter summer  evenings.

Saturday rambles are usually 4 to 5 miles and held in the West Midlands/Warwickshire area where travel passes can be used on local buses and trains. We  meet at Pool Meadow Bus Station or Coventry railway Station.

We hire a coach on Sunday, which gives more flexibility, and ramblers can choose if they wish to do morning or afternoon walks or both.   The coach leaves outside the Salvation Army building in Upper Well Street, Coventry.

The Wednesday and  Thursday walkers share cars and meet at a pub where  they normally have  a meal after the walk.

Where it states 6+4 miles on the programme, it means the ramble is 6 miles in the morning and 4 miles in the afternoon.

 

For last minute changes to any of the walks on the program, please see the “Further Information” page

Bring a snack/dinner and a drink to have along the walk.

Sunday Walks using a Coach

Due to the falling numbers attending the Sunday walks, it has been decided that the walks will be suspended  until summer 2024.  Two walks are planned :-

Sunday 23rd June, Sunday 18th August

More details will be published closer to the date.

Thursday Walks using Cars (All walks are  circular)

(Walks Organisers –  Malcolm/John)

Cars are used to reach the start of the walk and meet up in a village or pub car park. The walks are up to 7 miles in length. Normally the ramblers stop for a midday meal in a pub after the walk.

Note: The walks now depart at 9:45am

If ordering a post-walk meal, please arrive at 9:30am at the very latest.

Wednesday Sunset Strolls using Cars  (All walks are circular)

(Walks Organiser – Sue)

The Sunset Strolls take place on Wednesday evenings throughout the summer. Walks are circular and begin at a pub where we eat after the walk. The walks are no longer than 4 miles and take about 2 hours. 

If ordering a post-walk meal, please arrive at 5:45pm at the very latest.

 

Sunset Stroll B-Walks

From July 2022 we have decided to trial a Sunset Stroll B-walk.  Although the Sunset Strolls are very leisurely in pace, there are some  club members who may like to take part in a fairly short walk of no more than 2 miles.

Anyone wishing to do a “B” walk,  should meet up with the “A” walkers at the usual time.  They can walk along with the “A” walkers and turn back after about a mile or so.

One of the  “B” walkers will guide the other “B” walkers back to the pub where they are very welcome to join the “A” walkers for a meal.
