Loren will be leading a 6 mile walk from Birdlip School starting at 10 and exploring some more of the changes to the landscape as the A417 is being built. This walk does not appear on the printed table but more details are available on the Ramblers app. There are, however, no South Cotswold Ramblers…

Please note that the requirement from Ramblers head office to have either done online training or led 12 walks in the last 3 years in order to lead walks DOES NOT APPLY YET,  so you can put a walk on the next walk programme. So no excuses!!! Sally

Currently there are 4 Mondays, 4 midweeks and 7 Saturdays not filled on the Autumn/Winter programme. All you need to do at the moment is Book a date HERE. Sally

No-one came forward to lead S. Cotswold Ramblers walks on the 6th, 8th and 13th of September, so you might like to look at Stonehouse Walking Festival programme as an alternative. Thanks to Olivia for pointing this out. Details here

All walk leaders should have received a personalised email informing them of the need to “prove their competence as a walks leader” either by doing online training or completing a personalised form if they have led 12 walks between 2023 and the end of 2025 and have read their Ramblers handbook by the end of…

Although we have finalised our programme, there are still a few dates where no-one came forward to lead a walk. If anyone wishes to fill them, contact us. The missing dates are Monday 8th September, Saturday 6th and 13th September. Loren has put on a walk for Wednesday 10th September. This does not appear on…

You should all have received your email sent out by Ros, our membership secretary, which included our next walks programme, and, more controversially, Ramblers head office’s proposals about required criteria for continuing as a walks leader. Just to clarify – the 3rd category – 3) Certify that you have done 12 walks in the last…

You can find this on Walks > Walks Programme. Please check our message board or the Ramblers app for the inevitable changes. Sally

Trying to put on walks to suit everyone isn’t easy. We experimented with nominating 1 Saturday a month as a possible Faster Paced walk but it was suggested that this was too limiting, so we are now saying that leaders are free to choose whether they prefer to lead a Moderate or a Faster Paced…

There is a link on our website under Footpaths, Report a problem, which takes you to Gloucestershire Public Rights of Way office who use Fix my Street. The form cannot be used as it goes to a group’s Footpath Officer, and we do not have one! I have left the form on our website in…

If any walk leaders are thinking about leading a walk from barrow Wake the car park is closed for 30 weeks, the access road is still available for parking. It’s something to do with the road works.

You can set up an emergency contact number on your phone for someone to call (friend, family member) on your behalf without the need to know your password or screen lock. It doesn’t call 999, just the person you have nominated. HERE are the instructions. Ask if you need any help. Sally
