Sheffield 20s and 30s Walking Group is part of the Ramblers, the largest walkers' charity in Britain. To become a member of SWG, you need to join the Ramblers.
Try before you buy
Please feel free to come on 3 walks or socials and give us a try before deciding whether to join. You just need to pay your share of petrol money if car sharing or pay for a bus ticket if using public transport. Please also bring a change of shoes or big plastic bags so you don't get mud in the cars when sharing lifts.
Join the Ramblers
Annual membership of the Ramblers costs just £34 for an individual or £45 for joint membership. Membership can be paid for as the full amount or monthly by direct debit (£3 per month for individual members).
It is easiest to join through the Ramblers website. When you've joined, you will receive information from us. Welcome packs are also available at our new members' socials on the first Tuesday of every month.
Concessionary rates are available to full-time students, as well as people on means-tested benefits or living entirely on the state pension. Concessions are £20.50 for an individual and £27.50 for joint membership.

40 or above?
Sheffield Walking Group is aimed at people in their 20s and 30s. That said, we welcome everyone and a number of our members have been 39 for quite some time! However, in 2007, one of our members successfully set up a group for those in their 40s: Sheffield 40s Walking Group. We have strong links with that group and even some shared members. Why not give both a try and see which you prefer?
Under 18?
Sorry, Ramblers membership (and through it membership of SWG) is only open to people aged 18 or over.
