There are many reasons to join the Ramblers:

• Health - it's the ideal way to work off those extra pounds!
• Social - if you're new to west London, it's a great way to make new friends!
• Pleasure - of walking
• Campaigning - preserving what we have and promoting new opportunities:
  • Working for Rights of Ways
  • Footpath clearing
  • Promoting access to the Countryside
  • Protecting the countryside

But what do I get out of it?

• Walking opportunities - some opt to walk alone to blow away the cobwebs while others prefer to walk with family or friends; these people value the information and guidance we offer through our website, publications and enquiry line when making their walking plans.
  
  However, many members would rather share the experience of walking with others and so find our group walks (around 450 each weekend across England, Scotland and wales) the perfect way to make the most of the social side of walking.
  
  
• Walk Britain - Free to members (recommended retail price, £5.99). It contains information, maps, photographs, contact details and accommodation listings (many discounted).
  
  
• Walk Magazine. A quarterly magazine, it is packed with fantastic features, guest editorial from renowned writers and stunning photography, and will update you on the progress of our footpath, countryside, access and promoting walking campaigns, as well as news and developments from the world of walking
