By public transport from London we can reach an amazing variety of landscapes and environments for our day walks (from coastal walks on the South Coast, Kent and Essex, river- and canalside walks in London and outside, the beauty of the Chilterns, the North and South Downs and the Cotswolds), but sometimes it's good to get away completely.  This is where our weekends away programme comes in.

In the past, we've gone away to the blue remembered hills of Shropshire, sampled Bakewell tarts in the Peak District, investigated Staffordshire's countryside.

For 2012 we've got a few more ideas and plans (see below).  In case you don't get on the Hebden Bridge trip, plans are mooted for a trip to the Yorkshire Dales in October.  Details will be published in our programmes.  Our weekends away are open to all members of the Ramblers.
