We are a friendly, informal group
established in 1994 with
approximately 250 members. The area we cover surrounds
Southend-on-Sea in
south-east Essex and includes the Rochford and Castle Point
districts, the
Roach and Crouch estuaries and creeks with lengthy sea wall paths
amid the
abundant wildlife of the marshes. In the west of our area we have
Thundersley
and Benfleet with a variety of woodland areas and Hadleigh Castle
Country Park,
the castle made famous by John Constable. We extend in the south
down to Canvey
Island in the Thames estuary, in the east to Great Wakering and in
the north to
Rayleigh. Although the area is largely flat we nevertheless have
some diverse
scenery for the walker to enjoy.
 It is not necessary to be a member to join in a walk - just turn up on the day. If you enjoy the walks and want to continue walking with us you are expected to join the Ramblers' Association to give us your support. Many walks include a pub stop and cater for children and dogs, but please check with the walk leader before you go. You will need strong boots, shoes or trainers and warm and/or waterproof clothing, depending on the weather. But remember it can be very muddy particularly outside of the summer months and a walking-pole can be helpful, but remember to keep it pointed to the ground. You may also want to bring a drink and a snack or lunch. Come and join us in a walk you will be very welcome. Better still join us and become a Walk Leader. |
