CHELTENHAM RAMBLING CLUB

The Leaders Page: advice and useful links for leading walks for the club.

The Cheltenham Rambling Club uses voluntary leaders and are keen to encourage members to come forward to supply walks for the programme. A new leader offering one walk a year helps spread the load across the club programme and avoids relying excessively on a few regulars to come up with the walks. Additionally, new leaders bring forward new ideas and can sometimes offer new perspectives on areas which have been walked before.

Committee members and other experienced leaders in the club are happy to provide advice and support for proposed walk overs. The club also occasionally runs map-reading courses to help potential leaders become more confident in navigating footpaths or finding their bearings on open ground.
