| Welcome
to West Somerset Ramblers
We hope you have enjoyed walking with us and will
come again
What do we offer?
Throughout
the year our Group arranges a walk every Wednesday and Saturday.
The Saturday walks are usually 8 to 10 miles and last all day whereas
the Wednesday walks are mainly in the afternoon and 4 to 6 miles
long. Exmoor and the Quantocksare the main walking areas used. The
programme shows the start point, approximate walk lengthand the
name and phone number of the leader. NO
DOGS are allowed . There is no need to book in advance,
except where it specifies on the programme - usually to make arrangements
for catering. We recommend wear wearing boots, bringing a sandwich
lunch, something to drink and a waterproof. If you have any questions
about the walk or how to find the start point, please phone the
leader who will be happy to advise.
What is West Somerset
Ramblers?
West Somerset Ramblers
is one of a network of groups in England Wales and Scotland which
are part of the Ramblers’ Association, the national charity
working for walkers. After you have walked with our group a few
times we hope that you will join the RA. You then automatically
become a member of the nearest local group. Most West Somerset Group
members live in the Minehead area .
What are the Benefits
of RA Membership?
All members are sent
free of charge the local walks programme and a walking handbook
full of essential information about walking in Britain. There is
also a quarterly members’ magazine full of news about our
campaigning work and the world of walking. Many of the outdoor shops
(including Blacks and Millets) give a 10% discount on purchases
by RA members, and the London office has a library of walking maps
for loan. Most of all, your subscription helps to protect footpaths
from closure, preserves the countryside and increases access on
foot.
