Walking – The Striders

The Striders walk between eight and ten miles on a full day circular walk on the third Tuesday of the month, usually setting off at 10.30am prompt and finishing at about 3.30pm, with a short coffee break and a lunch break on the way. Start points are within about thirty minutes' travel of Oakham, though up to forty-five minutes during British Summer Time. Between April and October the group also runs a shorter walk of seven to eight miles on the first Tuesday of the month, finishing around 2.30pm. Members volunteer to lead the walks, with support available for anyone uncertain about leading, and make their own way to the start, though car sharing is encouraged. The group is listed as not currently accepting new members while also saying that it is currently accepting them, so the position is worth checking.
