We try to have at least two social events each year, and will update this page each time one is arranged. If you would like to be kept updated on a more regular basis then please send your email address to info@railrambles.org and we will add you to our mailing list.
27th-30th September 2024 – Rail Rambles goes to the seaside!
To celebrate our 35th anniversary next year we have planned a three night trip to the north coast of Wales. This will allow us to do some of the stunning walks in that area which otherwise would be a bit of a stretch on our normal days out. We have booked the Dunoon Hotel in LLandudno and the cost is £321 per person for dinner, bed and breakfast in a twin or double, with singles costing £351 per person. If you would like to stay at the hotel with us please email info@railrambles.org and we will check availabilty at the hotel. (We had to give up any unallocated rooms at the end of January so there is no guarantee.)
This weekend is fully flexible, however, and you are very welcome to join in for any or all of the walks we will be offering. You also have the option of arranging your own accommodation.
There will be one walk each day, four in total, and they will range in distance so we would hopefully offer something to suit everyone.
Charity fundraising
There are many ramblers who support charities through walking events and we would like to give them a boost on this page.
On May 25th John Mattocks is taking part in the Mighty Hike in Bangor, to raise money for Macmillan. If you would like to help with a donation, please click here for a link to his Just Giving page.
Post Christmas Lunch in Chirk January 2024
We had another lovely meal at The Hand in Chirk and were delighted to see so many there, including some who may not be coming out with us as regularly as they used to. A big thank you to Pat for all her hard work ensuring that we all got the meals we ordered and to Linda and Joan for organising a very successful raffle. You can see from the photos below that there were a lot of smiles (and clean plates!).
