What we do

There are two separate Amblers groups, both walking on the same days but in different locations. The only difference between the groups is that dogs are allowed on walks in group 1, but not in group 2.

Amblers walks proceed at a fairly gentle pace, are about 5 miles long without much climbing (maybe 500 feet or so, depending on the leaders). Along the way we stop for a coffee break and a picnic lunch.

Generally the walks are within the boundaries of South Lakeland but we do occasionally wander into the neighbouring districts. Because of the difficulties of finding sufficient car parking space for some of the walks it is helpful if members share cars as much as possible.
