Introducing Battle Ramblers
Battle Ramblers organise three walks per week throughout the year, excluding Christmas Day.
There are two classes of members - Health Walk Only Members and Full Members. Full Members are entitled to join any walk and also enjoy other social events throughout the year.
On a Friday morning, we offer a free Health Walk in and around Battle, always starting at 10:00 from the Abbey Green, TN33 0GG, What3Words location. These walks are designed for the less able walkers and are at a gentle pace, and typically of 2 - 2½ miles and 1 - 1¼ hours duration. Everyone is welcome to join us, but after two trial walks you are asked to join Battle Ramblers as a Health Walk Only member for insurance purposes, which is free of charge. You may upgrade to a Full Membership at any time to participate in our Sunday Morning and Friday Afternoon/Evening walks and other associated events, but there is a nominal annual membership charge for that.
For full Battle Ramblers members we have a Sunday morning walk where we set out for walks all over the surrounding countryside, generally within a 20 - 25 mile radius of Battle, usually starting at 10:00 or 10:15. These walks can be anywhere between 4 and 8 miles and are more challenging than the Health Walks. See the Sunday Walks Programme for details...
During British Summer Time (late Spring to early Autumn), we walk on Friday afternoons/early evenings usually more locally, generally starting at 16:00 (15:00 throughout October) - see the Friday Walks Programme for details. During the winter ad hoc walks are arranged on Friday afternoons at 14:00, starting from Watch Oak, Chain Lane, Battle, TN33 0YD, What3Words location.

Social Activites, too...
For Full Members, our AGM is held in October each year when we enjoy a bring and share tea. During the year we also hold a Strawberry Tea, a late autumn meal, and at Christmas time we have a "Mince Pies" event. Many of these events also have a raffle.
