First Newsletter and Walks Programme
Just 25 years ago, in May 1997 the inaugural meeting of Severnside Ramblers a new group of The Ramblers Association took place. The new group was formed by a steering committee created by Avon Area to serve the rapidly growing local population, centred on Bradley Stoke, and the committee first met in the May of that year. Their first modest programme, running from July 20th to October 19th 1997, boasted 14 walks covering lengths between 3 and 12 miles, and destinations from Patchway to The Black Mountains.
Our programmes continue to provide a rich variety of walks for a wide range of capabilities. Friday Ambles, consisting of short two hour local walks on alternate Friday mornings, followed by a pub or café stop for (optional!) tea/cake/lunch are consistently popular, while the more challenging Sunday walks ranging from between 6 and 13 miles with a much wider geographical reach, are great for those who are a little more adventurous. The group has always aimed to be friendly and welcoming to newcomers - the main aim being to enjoy ourselves and appreciate the countryside.
