About Ivel Valley Walkers
The Ivel Valley Walkers was founded in 1984. We currently have around 350 members and affiliated 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. Please join us on our walks.
We provide over 200 walks throughout the year. In our programme you will find:
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 alternate Tuesday : a longer mid-week walk of between 9 and 13 miles finishing mid afternoon. Please bring food and drinks for the whole day as a pub/cafe stop is not expected.
Every Wednesday : a morning walk of about 7 miles.
Every alternate Thursday : a slower paced walk (we call them ambles) of about 5 miles.
Occasional Friday walks - often interest walks of 4 to 6 miles, sometime using buses.
COACH TRIPS (usually on Sundays) and TRAIN EXCURSIONS (usually on Saturdays - sometimes to London) to explore and walk in lovely places further afield.
HOLIDAYS - of 4 to 6 days with members booking their own accommodation. Walks and a group meal are provided.
SOCIAL EVENTS are organised throughout the year such as Mulled Wine rambles, barn dances, canal boat trips, gliding, etc etc etc.
