The Ivel Valley Walkers were founded in 1984 and we celebrated our 25th anniversary in 2009. We currently have around 350 members, many of whom walk with us on a regular basis. Members of other local groups often join us too, knowing they will get a good walk and a friendly welcome. We regularly welcome new people on our walks and many go on to become members.
Every Sunday : a full day’s walking of about 12 miles, with alternate weeks being two half day walks of about 7 and 5 miles. On these days some people walk just in the morning or afternoon and some walk all day. There is almost always a pub stop at lunchtime but we bring our own food if staying all day.
Every Wednesday : a morning walk of about 7 miles, usually followed by the option of a pub lunch.
Every alternate Thursday : a slower paced walk (we call them ambles) of about 4 miles.
Every alternate Tuesday : a longer mid-week walk of between 9 and 12 miles.
From May to August : an evening walk of about 4 miles once a week.
Twice-yearly coach trips to walk in lovely places further afield.
Weekends away at least twice a year, usually staying either in youth hostels or bed and breakfast accommodation.
Social events such as Mulled Wine rambles, meals out, barn dances etc.
