- Length: Three options to suit all abilities: long (10-12 miles), medium (7-9 miles), and short (5-6 miles).

- Route: Linear (one-way) or circular (returning to start point).
- Lunch: Bring a picnic lunch to enjoy at a designated stop.
Joining a Coach Ramble:
- Booking: Places are required to be booked in advance through the club newsletter. Bookings open up to two weeks before the walk.
- Cost:
- Members: £12 per person (cash on return journey)
