Some "Small Print"
Battle Ramblers has one simple objective - that of organising Walks in the area of Battle and surroundings, up to about 10/15 miles distance from Battle, to take place on Sunday mornings.
All people taking part in club activities do so at their own risk and are responsible for their own safety. No responsibility can be accepted by any other club member or officer. Walkers under 14 must be accompanied by an adult.

In general, on Sunday mornings we leave Battle at 09:30 and set out for walks all over the surrounding countryside usually starting at 10:00 or 10:15.

Walks Programme
We designate our Sunday Walks: Short, Medium or Long. This roughly means: SHORT is up to 4 miles (6.4km); MEDIUM is up to 6 miles (9.6km); LONG is about 8/9 miles (13km), maximum.
We also designate Walks with an Easy, Moderate, Difficult category. This also roughly means: EASY includes one or two stiles only, very few inclines – essentially flat; MODERATE includes a few stiles and a few inclines, surface not all solid; DIFFICULT includes stiles, gates, substantial inclines and surface maybe slippery.

Then you know what you are letting yourself in for, even before joining a walk !
(Though we will do everything possible to make you feel welcome...)
All people taking part in club activities do so at their own risk and are responsible for their own safety. No responsibility can be accepted by any other club member or officer. Walkers under 14 must be accompanied by an adult.
Walkers should ensure they are fit enough for the distance and have suitable off-road, all-weather clothing & footwear.
In winter most walks are muddy in the High Weald area and walking poles are recommended.
Non-members must contact our Walk Coordinator on 01424 772709 to register - there may be planned restrictions on numbers of walkers and/or dogs allowed.
We adhere to COVID REGULATIONS as they apply to outdoor activities.
