Polegate Ramblers
Normally two rambles are arranged for every Thursday with an additional Leisurely walk on alternate weeks. The weekly rambles are a morning ‘short’ walk of 4-6 miles and an all-day ‘long’ walk of 8-11 miles. We try to keep a fairly brisk pace – though stiles inevitably slow things down. The Leisurely walks are better suited to those whose priorities lie more with fresh air and gentle exercise than moderate physical challenge and usually cover a distance of 2 – 3 miles.
