10 years ago - July 2016 on a ramble from Fridaythorpe led by
Susan Earnshaw Photo by Donna Dosdale National Park Working Parties Several of our members are registered as volunteers with the North York Moors National Park and give their time once a month to help with footpath maintenance in the park, which give us all so much pleasure. These working parties, organised by Ray Johnson take place on the third Wednesday every month.

Our group always needs more walk leaders. Leading a group walk is a
highly satisfying experience. The Ramblers have recently updated the
training programme to ensure all our leaders are properly equipped for
the responsibility. Group's historic walk programmes All past group walks can be accessed via the archives page. There are approximately 500 walks listed and the gpx files can be downloaded to the digital mapping programme of your choice by clicking on the camera icon next to a listed walk and then clicking on the link to the gpx file. A great resource for walk leaders. A sample list of rambles from the archives.
Good News Members who attended the recent Area AGM learnt that our group is the only one in the area to have experienced an increase in membership over the past year. Much credit for this must go to our superbly efficient hon. sec. and to our ramblers making newcomers welcome on walks. Keep up the good work.

The Scarborough and District group of the Ramblers' Association is a thriving organisation with a busy programme of walks. We are part of a long-established national body that has a proud record of campaigning for the rights of all who enjoy Britain's beautiful countryside. Walking is a healthy, sociable activity for all ages, requiring little expense other than the price of comfortable, suitable footwear and weatherproof clothes. Most of our walks start at 9.30am on Sundays in the winter monbths and 10.00am in the summer and are taken at a pace that allows a friendly chat. There are stops for coffee and a picnic lunch, and we aim to finish soon after 3pm. As walkers in the Scarborough area, we are uniquely blessed with a wide variety of countryside - well-trodden paths along the tops of the soaring sea cliffs, the dramatic heather moors of the national park, peaceful pastoral scenes and woodland in which wildlife abounds. In the winter, we stay fairly close to home, but we take advantage of the longer days to explore slightly further afield - to the boundaries of the North York Moors National Park and into the East Riding. To find out about joining or to seek any further information, use the "contact us" button at the top of the page. Scarborough Ramblers would be delighted to welcome you to any of our walks.
