WELCOME TO OAKLEY RAMBLERS WEBSITE
We are a group of people, mainly from Oakley and the surrounding areas, who enjoy walking in the countryside.
We welcome new members of all ages. Young walkers up to age 18 to be accompanied by an adult. Dogs are welcome on a lead.
There are 3 walks a month which are usually between 4 and 12 miles depending on time of day and leaders. Walks occur every second Wednesday in the month and every third Sunday in the month. During the summer we also organise some shorter evening walks.
Want to come along and walk with us? Why not try out a walk or two for free, then if you want to join us it’s just £7 for annual membership which is renewed on 1st February every year.
Most daytime walks meet in the lay-by near Oakley Junior School (check walk details for times). We usually share transport to the walk location so don’t worry if you don’t have your own transport. Coordinates/sat nav references/postcodes are provided for those who prefer to meet at the walk location.
- Generally we walk within a 30 minute drive from Oakley. Longer walks further afield are arranged from time to time.
- Once a year a Walking Weekend away is organised.
- Walks are lead by any club members who want to volunteer.
- After each walk there is often the opportunity to socialise in a pub or cafe. You will have the option to stay for a meal, or a drink or just head off home.
- We also have a Christmas party and a couple of additional social events throughout the year.
