Walks and Events Programme 2011

Notes for Walkers


The Sheffield Group of the Ramblers hope that you will enjoy your walk with us. The following notes should help you do so. Walks definitions Each walk in the programme is given a definition to help members choose a suitable walk. If any further information about a walk is required then members should contact the walk leader (see page 32) or the Rambles Secretary. The walks categories correspond to the National RAs definitions on the Walksfinder and Walk Britain book. Easy Walks for anyone who does not have a mobility difficulty or a specific health problem or is seriously unfit. May be suitable for pushchairs please contact the walks leader. Comfortable shoes or trainers can be worn. Intermediate Walks for reasonably fit people with at least a little country walking experience. Mainly on unsurfaced rural paths and may involve some sustained ascents and descents. Walking boots and warm, waterproof clothing are recommended. Moderate Walks for people with country walking experience and a good level of fitness. Likely to include rough terrain with steep climbs and descents and may be at a brisk pace. Walking boots and warm, waterproof clothing are essential. Strenuous More challenging walks for experienced country walkers with an above average fitness level. Will include steep 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 are advised to contact the organiser or leader in advance. The mileage is given separately and is no longer a part of the walk grading, which is solely concerned with the terrain and pace. Thus you could have a 10 mile intermediate or an 8 mile strenuous. Important. Grades are provided as a general guide only: if you have any doubts about your fitness for a particular walk please contact the leader in advance. You should also bear in mind the distance of the walk, differences in terrain, and the possibility of bad weather, which can make a walk more difficult than planned. If youre unsure of your fitness level, try a short and easy walk first: its 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.
The Sheffield Group of the Ramblers 2011

Bring a packed lunch and sufficient drink (hot in winter). If you have a medical condition, or any concerns about the suitability of the walk please contact the walk leader (see list on page 32) or the Rambles Secretary beforehand. Please do not walk in front of the leader. The leader will have planned the route and pace and will change either only if exceptional circumstances demand it. If you wish to leave the walk please inform the leader. Please check before bringing dogs on a walk as most access land is barred to dogs. Where dogs are allowed they must be kept on a short lead at all times. Buses depart from Sheffield Transport Interchange, unless otherwise stated, and trains from Sheffield Midland Station. Trams leave from the stop given. Check all departure times beforehand.

Notes for Leaders


It is ESSENTIAL to know the route of the walk and to have checked, as near to the date of the walk as possible, for any problems that may have arisen. Leaders should not vary from the walk as defined in the programme unless an emergency or other conditions make it necessary. Keep the group together at all times by walking at the front at the appropriate pace and by appointing a back marker who is known to the group and who, if possible, knows the route. Give details of the walk including the terrain, length and pace of the walk before setting off so that members can decide whether the walk is suitable for them. Check if anyone has a medical condition you need to be aware of. All leaders of midweek walks over access land need to check for closures. If unable to lead the walk, appoint a substitute leader. If this is not possible notify the Rambles Secretary or the Group Secretary. Check transport times and meet the group at the departure point. If this is not possible appoint a substitute to meet the group. All accidents and incidents should be noted and recorded, including details of any witnesses. Inform the Group Secretary as soon as possible. Leaders and potential leaders are advised to read RA Fact Sheet 6; Advice and Information for Leaders of Rambles Footpath Problems Please report any problems encountered to the Rights of Way Secretary (tel number on back cover) and if the problem is in Sheffield telephone the Public Rights of Way Unit on 0114 273 4448.
