We are the East York Get Your Boots on Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Stephen D.
Do you want to lead a Ramblers walk, but worried that you're not very good at reading a map? This is the walk for you! We'll give you maps with the route on, and there will be a few of us who are experienced leaders on hand to give you some tips and pointers and show you how to match the map up with the landscape around you, but it's up to all of you to work together to navigate us round the route!
The route takes in forest tracks, paths through farmland, quiet country lanes, and open moorland. You'll get to enjoy great views across the North York Moors with woodland, moors, streams and hills ... yes, there are a few hills, but that's all part of the fun.
