Colesbourne to Upper Coberley - 5 September 2024.
Thursday’s walk was led by Martin W. 14 members turned out in the rain and got very wet but spirits remained high and we enjoyed the snippets of information along the route, especially hearing about Chris’ grandparents and their family home. Fascinating. The walk was rounded off with a welcome lunch in the pub.
Charlton Kings to Lineover Wood - 25 April 2024
Thanks to everyone who came on our walk today. The mud of winter has finally started to dry out and I returned with nearly clean boots. A more attractive bonus was the colourful haze of bluebells to be seen in Lineover Wood - a happy coincidence with the timing of our walk. Thanks to Carol for the photo - Chris and Sue
Bourton-on-the-Water to the Slaughters - 4 April 2024
What a surprise for this morning’s walk from Bourton on the Water, 18 members turned out and despite some muddy patches (perhaps
we are just getting used to this winters conditions) we all had smiley faces - and yes, we all remained upright!

Statues and Odd Structures Walks – 22 & 27 February 2024
A number of club members were lucky enough to have been on one of Martin's two walks around the statues and structures of Cheltenham, and this was the 2nd walk by the carved tree in Clarence Square. We were also very fortunate to see a kingfisher in Pittville Park a few minutes previously! Thanks to Martin for a very informative and interesting walk.
One of our members, Guy, has a blog covering some of his own favourite walks and walking experiences. He features an overview of walks such as The Ross Round, The Palladian Way and The Cape to Cape walk: Guy's rambling guide to walks in England, Scotland and Wales
Bad weather: Some walks may have to be cancelled because of difficult weather conditions. Our Walks Programme Secretary, Paul, is currently keeping members informed of any
alterations to the programme.
It is always a good idea to check your e-mail before going on a walk in case of a cancellation or a last minute change in the walk detail.

Cheltenham Rambling Club 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. 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. (important: please quote the club name at the time of booking - this cannot be done after the holiday). This extra funding could really make a difference to us!
