Sunday Walks Programme

Darlington Ramblers Sunday Walks Progam for August - November 2025 

Dear Darlington Ramblers Group members

The Darlington group committee have made some changes to the way we present our walks programmes. For people who have access to the internet, the simplest way to get full details of a group walk is to go to the Ramblers national website and search for Darlington group walks, or to use Google to search for you. Both will bring you to details of individual group walks, with links to future walks. Before confirming the way forward, the committee will contact all group members again for your comments.

The summary list of walks below shows walk titles, walk distances and gradings, and contact details of walk leaders. More/full information including details of meeting points post codes etc  is provided in the national database refer link just below, or can be obtained from the walk leader listed.

Ramblers Membership is encouraged. - Please contact:- Paul Jackson 07704-930015 if any issues encountered

If intending to join the group at the walk start location  ( see ramblers site full walk description)  it is essential that you advise the walk leader in advance

Also kindly be advised that these walks are regretfully  not suitable for dogs
