Our Club
Our club has a reputation for being a friendly one with new members and visitors very welcome. We enjoy exploring the rich and varied landscape of the East Kent countryside and coast. The area offers a diverse range of experience for walkers of all ages and abilities. It features the rolling hills of the North Downs, the wide expanses of the Isle of Thanet, as well as the newly opened section of the King Charles III England Coast Path with its mixture of sandy beaches and dramatic cliff tops.
Our Walks
You may join us for three walks before deciding whether or not to become a member. Just turn up and make yourself known to the walk leader. We walk every Wednesday morning and generally offer a long walk of about 10 miles and a shorter leisurely walk of 4-6 miles. There is a water stop along the way and often a lunch arrangement organised by the walk leader which might be a picnic stop or a visit to a café or pub.
Social Events
In addition to the programme of weekly walks the club arranges some social events during the year, including lunches, quizzes and often a walking holiday. In the recent past members have enjoyed holidays in Eastbourne and St Margaret’s at Cliffe.
Other Walking Opportunities
While the East Kent Rambling Club members walk on Wednesdays some of our members also belong to DATROWS (Dover and Thanet Rights of Way Society) who walk on Sundays. Here is a link to their website – www.datrows.co.uk
