we are a group of walkers who like to go on short walks where we can relax and take photos and have a laugh and a chat without a leader who wants to rush everybody. Our motto is whats the rush lets have fun and walk and keep fit.
Walks are free of charge but all walkers are responsible for their ability to do the walks and walk at their own risk. As the weather and ground, we walk on can never be guaranteed as perfect, all walkers are responsible for wearing appropriate clothing and footwear.
All welcome to join us!

Stort Valley Ramblers
The Stort Valley group of the Ramblers was formed in 1995, the current membership is about 70 strong. The group is based in the Harlow area and also serves the nearby towns and villages situated in the Stort Valley bordering Essex & Hertfordshire.
The group’s programme consists of regular Sunday walks throughout the year varying between eight and 12 miles. During high summer we organize mid-week evening walks of approx.. 5 miles or two hours walking.
In addition, we have the occasional weekend away. The group has enjoyed a full week away, each year in the summer, walking some of the well-known long-distance paths. We remain a small friendly group and wish to encourage like-minded members to join us.

Walking for health scheme approved by local doctors, hospitals and the West Essex Clinical Commissioning Group (WECCG)
Lifewalks is the Walking for Health scheme organized by Epping Forest District Council. Launched in April 2001, Lifewalks now offers 5 led walks every week with a choice of over 25 routes. Around 25-40 people come out on each walk.
There are at least 2 fully trained leaders on every Lifewalk. Lifewalks range from 1-3 miles and each route is carefully graded for the amount of effort needed. Lifewalks take place on good surface paths in the local countryside and in the country parks around Waltham Abbey, Epping, Theydon Bois, Loughton, Chigwell, Buckhurst Hill and North Weald.
New walkers are always well looked after by the leaders who will advise on walking speed and help you quickly feel part of the group.
