Ravenshead & Hucknall Walking Group is a group of friends who originally formed the Ravenshead & Hucknall branch of the Ramblers Association. Since 2023 we have gone independent, organizing walks and rambles and publicizing them on this website for the information of all who wish to participate. If you want to get in touch with the group via email, click on the email address above or click "Contact" in the menu at the top of the page.

​

Please read the disclaimer on the Home Page before participating.

​

Grades

​

• Easy - walks for anyone who does not have a mobility difficulty, a specific health problem or is seriously unfit. Suitable for pushchairs if they can be lifted over occasional obstructions. Comfortable shoes or trainers can be worn.

• Moderate - walks for people with country walking experience and a good level of fitness. May include some steep paths and open country, and may be at a brisk pace. Walking boots and warm, waterproof clothing are essential.

• Strenuous - walks for experienced country walkers with an above average fitness level. May include hills and rough country, and may be at a brisk pace. Walking boots and warm, waterproof clothing are essential. People in doubt about their fitness should contact the organiser or leader in advance.

​

Notes

​

• Walk gradings are provided as a general guide only. If you have any doubt about your fitness for a particular walk please contact the organiser or leader in advance.

• Bear in mind the distance of the walk, regional differences in terrain and the possibility of bad weather, which can make a walk more difficult than planned.

• If you're unsure of your fitness level, try a short and easy walk first - it's much better to find a walk a little too slow and easy than to make yourself miserable and exhausted.

• Leaders may refuse to accept participants who in their opinion are inadequately equipped or unfit.
