Who are we

Welcome to the Goole & District Rambling Club! Established in 1965, we are a passionate community of experienced hikers who share a love for exploring the beautiful landscapes within 100 miles of Goole.

We organise monthly walks that cater to all levels of experience, and the cost of the walk includes transport to and from each hike, making it easier for you to join us on our adventures. Whether you're looking to discover new routes or enjoy the great outdoors with like-minded people, we're here to make every walk a memorable one!

Latest News

  • We have been awarded £3,500 from the Goole Field Windfarm Community Fund. This is very welcome and means that our club will be able to continue into next year and beyond.
  • Our last walk on April 6th was a very enjoyable walk doing the 2nd part of the Ripon Rowel Way. The walk took members around Ripon and through beautiful woodland and the Studley Royal Park.
  • Booking is now open for our next walk of 13 miles on Sunday 4th May from Bempton to Sewerby. This is peak puffing time and there should be ample opportunity to see these lovely little birds.
  • This year marks the 60th anniversary of our club. How to celebrate this was discussed at the AGM. It was decided the July walk will be a mini celebration, probably involving some fizz to toast the club, as the club’s first walk was around this time of year in 1965. The main celebration will be on the December walk when a Christmas meal will be provided for our members. Further details nearer the time.
