Introducing the Shamblers!
Following on from the success of the Shropshire Way Challenge a group of six Shropshire Guiding Volunteers have decided to carry on walking and have adopted the name “Shamblers” (Shropshire Guiding Ramblers!). We aim to walk twice a month, usually in Shropshire and hope to have a programme of circular walks over the coming year.
Any member of Girlguiding Shropshire is welcome to join us on any of the walks. Dates (but not necessarily the routes) are planned at least a month in advance. Walks are often 10+km long starting at the agreed meeting point at 10a.m. and often adjourning to somewhere nearby for tea and cake at the end. We are an informal, flexible group so if you fancy some fresh air, exercise, lovely scenery and friendly company do join us.
The next walk dates are:
11th & 25th Oct. 18th & 29th Nov 2026
Email Jeanette Price, Walking Adviser on walking@girlguidingshropshire.org.uk if you’d like to come.
