Whether you call it walking, hiking, or rambling, the Gay Sunday Walking Group goes out and enjoys it – in London, Essex, Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire.
You don’t have to be an experienced rambler to take part; in fact many of our members have developed a taste for the open air as a result of coming on one of our walks for the first time.
We usually have at least two walks every month: one half-day walk (about 3 to 6 miles), usually in one of the greener parts of Greater London, and one full-day walk (about 7 to 12 miles), usually in the countryside but within about an hour’s train journey from central London.
We welcome people of any age, and walk at a comfortable pace. All our walks can be reached by public transport. We also try to include parking information for drivers where possible. On full-day walks we often stop at a pub or café for lunch but you can bring a packed lunch if you prefer.
Despite the group’s name, we have walks on Saturdays as well as Sundays, and occasionally on a bank holiday Monday.
The group is run by its members as a voluntary not-for-profit club. It is affiliated to the Ramblers’ Association and has insurance cover arranged through it.
Because we are a membership organisation, we do require people to fill in a membership form and pay a membership fee, currently £12 a year (or £17 if you want to receive information by post rather than email). The membership fee goes towards the running costs of the group; none of the committee members or walk leaders is paid.
Once you’ve paid the fee we’ll send you full details of all our walks and you can come on as many as you want for no further charge.
However, you are welcome to come on one or two walks to try out the group before deciding whether to join as a fully paid-up member. If you’d like to do this and would like details of walks coming up soon, please either email us at gswg@hotmail.com, or see our page on Meetup.com (full web address below).
