This walk, advertised several times previously, had never actually been completed. True to form, although completed on January 21st it was still not as intended. Previous attempts to complete the circle have resulted in the Caterham to Woldingham, Caterham to Oxted and Caterham to Hurst Green variations – mainly due Read more…
It is hard to say how many Morley Ramblers actually did this walk; 17 were counted when we set off from Norbury station, 23 enjoyed lunch at the Rookery café on Streatham Common and eleven made it for tea! Thus the advantages of an urban walk with many opportunities to Read more…
October 15th 2022. Despite a forecast for showers and cloud, the sun shone brightly on the ten Morley Ramblers who set off to explore the redways and parkland that surround Milton Keynes.

The Wandle is one of only 200 chalk streams in the UK rising in the North Downs Read more…
12 February 2022 Fourteen people started out on this flat, and ostensibly straightforward, walk that follows two disused railway lines and the Hertfordshire and Ver/Colne Valley Ways.
