About us
We are a walking group based in Norfolk, run by a lovely team of relaxed, friendly, inclusive volunteers aimed at similar like-minded people.
We tend to have at least one walking event every weekend. Each walking event can be very different in terms of terrain, distance, and walking speed. Please check the details of each event to assess whether it is suitable for you.
Occasionally we also put on more leisurely paced walks, shorter mid-week walks and evening walks, as well as a few much faster paced and challenging walks, and the occasional trips away.
New members are always welcome to come on 3 walks to see what we are like before joining. We hope that you like us and what we do, and if you wish to walk with us after your first 3 free walks, then you need to Join the Ramblers.
When joining the Ramblers, in the second section of the form, under the heading "Your group", choose the "Norfolk Area" then the "Hike Norfolk group". To receive communications from us, you need to provide your email address to Ramblers when you join (and update Ramblers if your email changes).
Please bring your Ramblers membership card or a photo of it to all events as we do periodic checks.
We look forward to seeing you.
All the best from the Hike Norfolk Team.
