Rotherham Metro Ramblers is a friendly and sociable local walking group that organises walks on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Walks usually range from five miles to around ten miles, covering areas from local Rotherham routes to the Peak District, as well as parts of North Nottinghamshire and East and West Yorkshire.
The group also hosts an annual coach ramble and an organised walking holiday. Newcomers are warmly invited to try a couple of walks. For further details, visit http://www.ramblers.org.uk/rotherham-metro.
