Our Walks Programme

Due to circumstances beyond our control, there may be changes to the walks programme.  Please check the walks programme below to make sure that you are aware of the latest information.

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 for occasional Sunday Rambles. This  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 travel by car and meet at a pub where  they normally have  a meal after the walk.

If the walk information 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 programme, please see the “Further Information” page 

Saturday Walks using Local Transport

Sunday Walks using a Coach -2025

During the spring and summer months, we are planning six walks using coaches.

Currently, the dates and destinations have been decided. Specific details for each destination will be available nearer the time.

Unless stated otherwise, our usual car parking arrangement with Wickes will apply.

The coach will leave from outside The Salvation Army, Upper Well Street, Coventry. CV1 4AG

May 18th — Bourton-on-the-Water  to Stow-On-The-Wold

June 15th — Monmouth 

July 20th — Minster Lovell/Witney

August 17th — Stamford area

September 21st — Matlock

 

 

These dates are all the 3rd Sunday in the month except for April, which is 2nd Sunday in order not to clash with Easter Sunday.

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. 

All Wednesday  walks depart at 6pm.

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

Although the Sunset Strolls are very leisurely in pace, there are some  club members who may like to take part in a shorter walk of no more than 2 miles.

Anyone wishing to do a  shorter walk  may turn back after about a mile or so, where they can  to join the rest of the walkers for a meal.
