Norwich Ramblers

Trips Away

Each walker is responsible for arranging their own transport and accommodation. People often share. You can ask the trips' organisers if they know of anyone who may like to share accommodation or lifts
YOU MUST RESERVE A PLACE ON THE TRIP BEFORE YOU BOOK YOUR ACCOMMODATION. Please email the trip organizer if you would like to come on one of our trips. Email addresses are shown below for each trip. We are registering attendance as our trips away have become very popular. We may have to restrict numbers depending on the availability of leaders, walks and car parks. This will be at each trip organisers’ discretion. You may like to take out TRAVEL INSURANCE for our trips away. The Ramblers offer Liability insurance to all its members on the walks, and Personal Accident insurance only to the leaders when leading, reccing a walk or on their way there & back.
You will receive a welcome email a few weeks before your trip with information about the logistics, with a further email one week or two before the trip, with a detailed itinerary.
DOGS ON TRIPS AWAY. If you are thinking of bringing a dog to your chosen trip(s), please ask the specific trip organiser (before you book your accommodation) if dogs are allowed, as they may decide their trip is not suitable. When possible, we will give an indication of whether the trips away will be dog friendly when advertised below. Thank you for your understanding.

PS Please note we have removed the £5 fee per person per trip starting in 2025.

Any queries unrelated to a specific trip, please email Trips Away Coordinator marita.ramblersn@gmail.com

PLEASE NOTE THE LAKE DISTRICT WALKING WEEK TRIP WILL BE IN MAY AGAIN IN 2026. PLEASE READ THE INTRODUCTION AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE & REGISTER BY EMAILING THE TRIP ORGANISERS & WAIT FOR THEIR CONFIRMATION OF A PLACE BEFORE BOOKING YOUR ACCOMMODATION. 2026’s trip will take place in May so that we can experience the beauty of spring in the Lake District- think carpets of bluebells and lambs, which we enjoyed this year. There will be 3 organised walks each day, of varying difficulties. The longer walks will potentially involve significant ascents and descents, steep and narrow rocky paths with precipitous drops and sometimes necessitating the use of hands on rock. The shorter walks will also involve hilly terrain but will be at lower altitudes and at a slower pace. Full walk descriptions will be published a few weeks before the trip itself. Some of the walks will start in Keswick, some will require car journeys of varying lengths and some we will use public transport. We will also be arranging some evening social events. The itinerary as always will be highly weather dependant. DOGS- registered assistance dogs only (please email for advice).
