Sunday Walks Programme

Darlington Ramblers Sunday Walks Programme

for August 2026 – November 2026

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.

The summary list of walks below shows walk titles, walk distances and gradings, and contact details of walk leaders. More information is provided on the Ramblers website (Darlington Group), refer link below or can be obtained from the walk leader.

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 for 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.
