Whatever the weather, whatever the time of year, it’s always good to be outside walking around our beautiful countryside. And what better way to do it than by joining Powick Ramblers!
Getting out and walking can do wonders both for our health, mental & physical, and wellness. Joining Powick Ramblers makes it easy to achieve and let’s you meet lots of new friends too.
They’ve been rambling around Powick, and bit further beyond, for over 20 years and as a group are inviting more like-minded folk to join them.
Powick Ramblers has three sections so there’s something for everybody and you needn’t take on more than you feel comfortable with. But whatever you do, you’ll be enjoying the exercise, socialising and discovering a new area of The Malverns you never knew existed before.
The original part of Powick Ramblers is, wait for it, the Rambling section. Ramblers meet every week [walk days vary], normally within a 10 mile radius of Powick and walk circa 5 miles. Members take it in turns to lead the walks, but there’s no pressure to do so. Turnout is usually between12 to 20 people. Walks start promptly at 10.00am, there is a stop for a quick coffee break after an hour or so, and finish around 12.30 to 1.00pm. Walks often start from a pub or garden centre so some members choose to stay on for refreshments and more chatter.
The second section is Amblers. This meets 2 or 3 times a month and was established for folk who find 5 miles too challenging; Amblers also avoid steep hills and definitely NO STILES. Again walks start promptly at 10.00am, walk for 1½ – 2 hours and then retire for coffee or an early lunch somewhere as required.
Finally is the Trailers section, which is for more energetic walkers [8 to 11 miles]. Trailers meet once a month, take a packed lunch and venture, perhaps a little further afield.
So there you have it – a friendly walking group in The Malverns with something for everybody. You can walk – talk – explore – and socialise – so why don’t you join in ?
More details to know:
- Joining and walking is FREE as everything is done via the internet
- Dog friendly
- A couple of social events each year like a summer party and Christmas lunch
