I love to go a-wandering, Along the mountain track, And as I go, I love to sing, My knapsack on my back.
Was it Pearl Carr and Teddy Johnson that recorded the song The Happy Wanderer?
I don't know, but I do know that, to wander happily is the experience of all the members and guests that come on the many walks arranged by the East Yorkshire and Der
went Area of The Ramblers' Association. So why don't you do your mind and body good by joining us on a walk this week?
Listed below are the dates, starting point, map reference, starting time and distance for all the free, circular guided walks in this area for the week beginning Thursday the 16th of October. If you would like to join any of them just turn up at the starting point wearing stout shoes, with some weatherproof clothing, a drink and, if the walk is more than about five miles, a packed lunch. Then, whether you are an RA member or not, you will be made very welcome.
