Path Wardens

Didcot & Wallingford group have a core of about 15 to 20 active walkers and a smaller group of friendly walk leaders. We contribute to the area programme with walks of varying lengths and demands. We are always keen to recruit more leaders and experienced members are always happy to support new walk leaders while they are "finding their feet". Our area includes the South Chilterns, Thames path and Berkshire Downs, providing a variety of terrain and scenery.

The photo above shows some of our members at Selworthy Beacon, on Exmoor, in September 2015 on our annual weekend away. We are now booking to go to Church Stretton, to walk in the Shropshire Hills, in September 2016. If you are interested in attending please get in touch with Nick by e-mail.

Didcot & Wallingford has recently joined The Walking Partnership. This new partnership, supported by Ramblers Worldwide Holidays, provides direct financial contributions to local walking groups to help with organising group walks, encouraging people to get out walking, helping to clear and improve footpaths, providing equipment to help walkers etc.
Over the past 65 years, Ramblers Worldwide Holidays has given many millions of pounds to assist walking charities and conservation projects in Britain and the countries they visit on their worldwide holidays. Now our group can benefit directly.

Ramblers Worldwide Holidays operate group walking holidays in the UK and all around the world. Each holiday is accompanied by a qualified walks leader, so you can leave all the organising to them and just enjoy meeting like minded people and of course, some fantastic walking. Holidays are graded in terms of difficulty, and there is a full range from sightseeing right up to hut-to-hut mountain treks. Take a look at their website on www.ramblersholidays.co.uk or give them a call on 01707 331133 for more details or to order a brochure.

Remember when you book to quote the name of our group, and we will then receive a contribution of £10 per person on UK holidays, £20 per person on short haul holidays, and £30 per person on long haul holidays. This extra funding could really make a difference to us!
