Welcome to the Original 5 Mile Ramblers. A group of approximately 32 keen walkers. We walk once a fortnight on alternate Fridays to the other 5 mile group which operates in a similar way. A degree of fitness is required as terrain varies and can take in steep climbs with subsequent descents. We recommend all weather gear and walking boots as we only cancel if conditions for the drive and/or walk are too dangerous. All group members are required to lead at least one or two walks per year in pairs and all walks should be recced prior to the actual day. Leaders also arrange the pub lunch afterwards and help will always be given to new members with all arrangements and routes. We usually walk within a 40 minute radius of Haslemere and take a coffee break half way through the ramble which starts at 10 a.m. usually from the pub car park.
From the beginning of 2024 we continue to be lucky with fair weather albeit a bit damp underfoot! We began the year with some steep climbs from Newlands Corner and Blackdown. We are feeling well exercised. The Summer Term's programme is complete and includes the optimistic idea of a pic-nic in July. We do currantly have a couple of spaces. Do enquire.
