The LCRA conducts walks most Sundays throughout the year. They vary in
length and physical demands and are in 3 grades:- A,
B and C.
All walks are led by experienced ramblers.
A
walks can be 10 to 15 miles and are for the more experienced ramblers.
B are shorter.
C are shorter still and can be 7 to 8 miles.
Consideration is given in advance to the difficulty of the course, the
terrain, whether stiles, steep hills, or busy roads are to be crossed,
and the numbers who may be expected to take part.
The coach departs
from William Brown St (Click
here for a map) on Sundays at 9.30 a.m. and we endeavour to return
by 9.30 p.m. at the latest (generally earlier in winter).
Smoking is not allowed on the coach. Advance booking is essential, by telephone or by email and the currrent charge is £11 per person.

Area of pictures of LCRA members taken over the
