Ramblers

Alan and Babs Pearn started the Ramblers towards the end of 2005.

The walks are usually around six or eight miles, led by someone within the group. We meet at the church at 10.00am on the first Monday of the month, and drive to the start (and end!) of the walk. After the walk we have lunch at a convenient pub, or else picnic in a quiet corner - weather permitting. We generally are back home around three.
