Description

Introduction 

Rambling Ramblers is a group of serving and retired members of SYP who are members of the Sports & Social Club, and their families, who meet every four weeks on a Sunday to participate in a ramble or walk.The walking programme comprises walks suggested by members who then lead their particular walk. The meeting points, times, routes etc are circulated in advance to those on our e-mail list, and details are also included on the web site below.  Reports of previous walks are included to offer a flavour of the activities of the Section.  All are welcome to join the walks – there are no costs other than getting to the meeting point and back home, and to this end, car sharing is recommended. Walks are in various areas and whilst some are fairly local, some are within a distance involving around a one hour drive – within Derbyshire,Staffordshire, West and South Yorkshire. Whilst a number of the walks are classed as ‘all day walks’, often there are ‘turn-off points for members wanting a shorter walk, and these will be pointed out in the advance notice of the walk.

If you are interested in taking part in one or more of the walks, please
contact the Membership Services Co-ordinator at Niagara on extension
4947 or external number 0114 296 4947 and leave an e-mail address
and a telephone number and a member of the Walking Section will contact you.
