The
Ramblers Association
exists to facilitate, for the benefit of everyone, the enjoyment
and discovery that walking outdoors can bring; and to promote
respect for the life of the countryside. The association encourages
walking; protects rights of way; defends the beauty of the countryside;
and has campaigned for many years for freedom to roam over uncultivated,
open country. The association is a democratic, voluntary organisation,
registered as a charity (no.1093577).
The Hampshire
Area of the Ramblers' Association has over 5,000 members belonging
to 15 Groups. Hampshire has nearly 3,000 miles of public rights
of way, byways, bridleways and footpaths. We help maintain them
by survey, reporting faults and doing practical work. The Hampshire
20's and 30's Walking Group and the Wessex
Walkers offer younger RA members the chance to meet like-minded
walkers of a similar age.
Our
neighbouring RA groups are West
Berkshire, North
Hampshire Downs, Winchester,
Romsey,
South
Wiltshire, Mid
Wiltshire and North
East Wiltshire.
The Ramblers'
Association Group Walks Finder can help you to find a Ramblers'
group walk that suits you. You can search their online database
and get details of thousands of group walks, all led by Ramblers'
walk leaders.
With over 5,000 members and more than 50,000
items posted so far, the Ramblers
Walking Forums allow you discuss issues on a wide range walking-related
topics, e.g. gear, destinations, websites, places to eat and drink,
and much more ... .
