Berkshire Walkers Events

We run a rolling program of walks and socials throughout the year, mainly at weekends and on some weekday evenings.  Our walks normally include a pub stop along the way and are a great way of making new friends.  We also organise longer trips away (weekends and week-long breaks) to good walking regions further afield.  Have a look at our blog to see some of the walks and trips we’ve been to recently.

In summary, the programme covers:

  • Walks: A selection of group-led walks, typically 5 to 15 miles; graded Easy, Moderate or Challenging.
  • Socials: Monthly social events such as pub evenings, ten-pin bowling, meals-out and days out / visits.
  • Holidays: Recent holiday locations include the Lake District, the Peak District,  Wye Valley and Scotland.
  • Special Events: Seasonal events (Christmas Parties), plus First Aid courses and walk leader training.

Our walk leaders will be happy to welcome you to the group and answer any queries.
