Chester Rambling and Hill Walking Club

If you can climb Moel Famau from the top car park and walk 8 miles on the flat then you are ok for a B walk.

Well we normally are off walking by 10am on a Sunday so by 11am we are all ready for something to eat and a cup of tea.   1pm is the scheduled lunch - normally at the top. A break in the afternoon is 2-30 ish.  Back at car by 4pm ish.

Annual Membership is £10 and covers all the led walks in the programme. We also make a contribution to the driver towards fuel costs & any parking charges on walks but these are kept to a minimum as we car share from Chester to the start of the walks.

Tuesday night socials are a nominal £2 for members (£2.50 for visitors) and include a cup of tea/coffee and a biscuit (pay on door).

Costs of other activities like Club Weekends, Camps & Dinners are variable and available on request.

Annual Membership should be sent to the Membership Secretary, address as listed in the programme or
 email us for a Standing Order Form

The social club evenings are held on alternative Tuesdays from October to April. Many of the winter Tuesday nights start with a talk from a visiting speaker or club member on a variety of interesting topics then an opportunity to mingle with the speaker and club members over a cup of tea/coffee and a biscuit. We also have a Lasgne&Quiz night, a Christmas Evening with entertainment & finger food and we arrange a Christmas Dinner to follow one of the Sunday walks in December. On summer evenings we get outdoors with a programme of short walks (usually finishing at a local pub). If you are considering joining the club and would like to meet some of us you would be welcome to come as a guest for the evening. To find out more contact the Social Secretary via  email .

Club Weekends are a chance to enjoy 2 days walking, in a completely different area, with our own leaders providing a choice of walks on each day. Our meals and accomodation are provided by hotels popular for walking and activity holidays in or around our National Parks. Travel is by coach arriving in time for dinner on the Friday evening and returning after Sunday's walks. Although the club needs to reserve rooms 12-24months in advance for large parties, members need only reserve their places at the start of each programme.
NEW due to the increasing overheads of coach hire and lack of flexibility for members, for spring weekend 2015 we will be trialing car share to Malhamdale. Please indicate whether you would need a lift or can offer a lift when you book.

Contact the Coach Organiser (contact details in the front of your programme) to reserve a place on the coach.  Interest may be given for the walk & coach trip but your place is only confirmed on payment. All payments are due no later than 10 days before the coach trip. The coach fare once paid is non-refundable.
