We’re a Ramblers group aimed mainly at people in their 20s, 30s and slightly older, offering led walks and social events across Herts, Beds and south Cambs.
Are you interested in leading a route for your walking group? Thinking about volunteering a walk but not sure how to go about it? If so, why not join us at the Chequers Beer House in Stevenage to talk about walks, plan our summer/autumn walk programme and enjoy some food and drink.
Whether you’re an experienced walk leader or just thinking about giving it a go, come along and have a chat with other leaders and the Stag Walkers committee.
We’ll have various maps, guide books and information to help you put a walk in the calendar. If you’re looking for new routes to share with the group, want to meet other members to do a practice walk or co-lead, or if you have any questions about planning or leading walks, please ask and we can help.
All our group walks and other activities are organised by volunteer members and we encourage all Ramblers members to get involved. It’s fun, rewarding and might be easier than you think!
What about dinner?
If all this taking about walking makes you hungry, just step outside to find Bracey’s Pizza & Pasta food truck behind the pub. Delicious pizza, pasta & fries are served until 11pm and you can bring your food back into the pub to eat.
And if you’re feeling thirsty, the Chequers has 15 cask ales, 4 craft ciders, premium draught beers and soft drinks to choose from.
Where is it?
The Chequers Beer House, 164 High Street, Stevenage SG1 3LL.
There’s a car park around the back and it’s 10 minutes’ walk from Stevenage railway station.
