Welcome to the Original 5 Mile Ramblers. A group of approximately 28 keen walkers. We walk once a fortnight on alternate Fridays. A degree of fitness is required as terrain varies and can take in steep climbs with subsequent descents. We recommend all weather gear and walking boots as we only cancel if conditions for the drive and/or walk are too dangerous. All group members are required to lead at least one or two walks per year in pairs and all walks should be recced prior to the actual day. Leaders also arrange the pub lunch afterwards and help will always be given to new members with all arrangements and routes. We usually walk within a 40 minute radius of Haslemere and take a coffee break half way through the ramble which starts at 10 a.m. usually from the pub car park. Bring your own drink and snack.

Numbers have been a bit low throughout 2025 so I am hoping these will increase during 2025/2026. We acknowledge the efforts that leaders go to in arranging pub lunches and doing the recces. We should support our leaders enthusiastically. We are open to new members at any time during the year.
