Winter Walking Festival - 30 December 2018 (5.5 miles) - Litcham Common

This walk is part of our winter walking festival which runs from Friday 21 December 2018 to Sunday 6 January 2019. This year the Ramblers are working with the theme of inclusion and loneliness, and we want to reach out to as many people as we can, to encourage them to come on these walks.

So, these walks are designed to be welcoming to new people who have never walked with us (and of course those who have!). We think that joining a new group and meeting new people can be really difficult, and especially so for those who might be shy or feeling like they're left out. Our aim is to offer a community where people can come and walk with us, come to our social events and on our holidays, and we think that we are genuinely welcoming. And walking is good for the soul, the body and the mind, all that exercise outdoors! If you need any help, then message me. That might mean you would like someone to meet you at your car, maybe give you a lift to a walk, meet you in advance of a walk or at a social event, whatever helps you make the first step to walking with us.

Or you might just want to start walking with a new group to start a new healthy habit in 2019! In which case, the Ramblers offer hundreds of led walks every month and members get sent a programme of them all. We only list a few walks on Meetup, there are many more available in the area programme and members can walk with any group. You will need to join the Ramblers if you've walked with us three times, we'll provide information on that.

For our shorter walks, don't worry too much about equipment. Some of our members won't step outside of their house if they're not kitted out in Rab gear, but all you need are shoes that won't fall apart and a coat so you don't get too cold (and other clothing obviously).

WALK - 30 December 2018

This walk is led by Mid Norfolk group and is aimed to appeal to those people who live in that area of the county (but everyone is welcome to attend, and a member can attend a walk with any group in the country). The walk leader isn't on Meetup, but they are aware that the walk is listed. The number of attendees will be higher than is shown on Meetup.

The leader is Sheila and her number is 01328 701034. If you prefer to message rather than use the phone, then use the Meetup messaging system and we'll forward a message onto the group secretary. Just be aware this might take a little longer.

Please meet at Litcham Common Car Park for this Mince Pie walk! It starts at 10:00 and the nearest post-code is PE32 2NS.
