Looking for a walking group..

[parkerburton]

Hello,

Could anyone recommend a small, informal walking group? I'm in my late twenties, looking to meet some new friends and thought I'd give a walking group a go?

The local Ramblers Association have a 20's - 30's group.

There are lots of walking groups in Sheffield. As silverknight said there is the Ramblers 20's - 30's, & the University runs a walking group that is open to everyone, not just students. There are of course at least 2 walking groups that advertise their walks on here & both welcome new members.

Speaking as a member of the Shamblers walking group, we are very informal & have members of all ages, from teenage through to pensioners & from all walks of life. The number of walkers we have on an average walk is usually around 10 - 15, which is a great number for sociable walking. We walk Thursday evenings, Saturdays & Sundays & have plenty of socials as well.

You can find more details on our website, see the link to it in my signature.

Good luck in finding a walking group to suit your personal needs - & maybe we will see you on a walk one day

Hi Parkerburton,

 

Like Hemlock says there are numerous walking groups in Sheffield so hopefuly you'll find one to suit your needs. As a Shambler like Hemlock, I can second everything she says about our group and that you'd be very welcome to join us on a walk whenever you like.

 

Maybe we'll see you soon.

Not much else to ad really to what has been put already, speaking as another Shambler there's quite a few members on this forum who have been members on here for quite a while who walk with the Shamblers, as said we offer quite a variety of walks from Wednesday Morning Health Walks, Thursday Evening Walks (by torchlight, these are different!) Saturday Daytime Walks and Sunday Daytime Walks.

 

We also put on what we believe to be excellent social events, such as Ten Pin Bowling, Laser Quest, Cinema Trips, Brewery Trips, Meals Out, Pub Crawls even Holidays Abroad such as our recent trip last weekend which was a Mini Cruise to Amsterdam, we source out some fantastic group bargains, which our members can decide to either part take in the social side or not.

 

The Shambler has alway been run by a dedicated team of Volunteers who have put their free time and effort into organising such as above and continues to do so.

 

More recently on here a ex member of the team formed a break-away group from The Shamblers who have set up and called themselves The Sheffield Wanderers who put on weekly Sunday Walks, I'm sure they would also welcome you.
