BEACON RAMBLERS

 

The Club’s activities include weekly Sunday rambles in Surrey and surrounding areas. There are a mixture of longer and shorter and rambles.  Other social events may be organised during the year.

The club is open to all over 18.  There are no formalities; if you wish to join a ramble, turn up at the starting point at the time stated. If there is a chance that the ramble could be cancelled due to weather, please check before leaving home.

Strong shoes or boots are recommended on rambles, also rainwear and a packed lunch.   Walkers join rambles at their own risk.  Own transport usually essential.  Dogs must be on leads through crops, where livestock is present, and under owner’s control at all times.
