Hampstead Group printable Programme
The Hampstead Ramblers is a friendly walking group which aims to cater for people of all ages and abilities. Although most of our members live in the London Boroughs of Camden and Islington some come from further afield. Our walks, which take place throughout London and the southeast of England, are vary varied and range in length from less than 5 to 20 miles (they are graded for pace on a 5-point scale: "Slow" = up to 2 mph, "Easy" = up to 2.5 mph, "Average" = around 2.5 mph, "Brisk" = up to 3 mph and "Fast" = up to 3.5 mph). The majority of our walks take place at weekends, particularly on Sundays, but we also organise a few mid-week walks, mainly on Wednesdays. We also organise the occasional weekend break or longer holiday.
General Note
Most walks listed here are intended primarily for Ramblers' Association members. Non-members are welcome to join us as guests on two or three walks, though if you walk with a group regularly you will be expected to join the Ramblers.
Please make sure that you are fit enough to undertake the walk you intend to join. If you're unsure of your fitness level, try a short and easy walk first: it's much better to find a walk a little too slow and easy than to make yourself miserable and exhausted.
Most Ramblers' walks are off-road in rural areas. Please have suitable footwear and clothing for the walk you intend to join, and bring some food and drink, even if the walk includes a pub or café break. Leaders may refuse to accept participants who in their opinion are inadequately equipped or unfit. When in doubt, contact the organisers or the walk leader in advance.
For your own and others' safety please read and abide by any advice and guidelines issued by the organisers, and the instructions of the walk leader. Though walking is inherently one of the safest outdoor activities, no activity is completely without risk and it is your responsibility to behave sensibly and to minimise the potential for accidents to occur.
