The Nottingham HFRambling Club offers two types of walks: coach rambles and car/public transport rambles. Here’s a breakdown on how to join each:

Coach Rambles:

  • Frequency: Sundays, usually every other week.
  • Length: Three options to suit all abilities: long (10-12 miles), medium (7-9 miles), and short (5-6 miles).
  • Location: Mostly Peak District or Derbyshire, with occasional trips further afield.
  • 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:

  1. Booking: Places are required to be booked in advance through the club newsletter. Bookings open up to two weeks before the walk.
  2. Cost:
    • Members: £12 per person (cash on return journey)
    • Non-members: £15 per person (cash on return journey)
    • For trips further afield, the cost may be higher and will be notified in the newsletter.
    • Last-minute cancellations may incur a fee.
  3. Pick-Up Points: The coach picks up at three locations:
