Hello All,
We presently have 12 walk leaders registered with the group, however it is known the most recent events have been organized by significantly less numbers. A dedicated few.
If you are a walk leader, or are thinking about becoming a walk leader, Ramblers now require leaders to be:
1. a Ramblers member
2. have completed the Walk Leadership Foundations course
The course equips you with the skills and knowledge to lead group walks confidently and also means the Ramblers liability insurance applies. For once, you break it doesn’t necessarily mean you bought it. Liability insurance covers walk leaders and members during recognized Ramblers activities, including walking and recce activities.
The course is broken down into skills segments and can be completed in stages, or one sitting taking around 60-90 minutes.
When you have finished the course please let us know Contact Form.
Personal Accident Insurance: Walk leaders are covered by personal accident insurance, but this is only available to those who have completed specific training.
Public Liability: The insurance covers claims made by third parties against the Ramblers for negligence during walks.
Recognition: The insurance applies only if the walk is advertised and run as a Ramblers event

Regards and Seasons Greetings,
Ben (2026 President)
