The Blackheath Group is a walking group who hope to provide rambling opportunities for people of all ages and abilities. We aim to be as inclusive as possible.  We would like to encourage people of different ethnic minorities and cultures to join us in our walks.

Whenever possible we try to offer a walk on each Saturday, Sunday and Bank Holiday.  We also offer occasional choices of walks, summer evening walks (run by Mike Biggs of South Bank Group) and walking breaks away, usually at least one week or long weekend away a year.  Our shortest walks are less than five miles and our longest walks might exceed 20 miles but most of our walks are within the range 8-16 miles.  We do offer some short walks in every Programme and are always on the lookout for extra leaders for these.  Each walker is responsible for their own health and safety whilst walking with the Blackheath Group. 

The Blackheath Group is led by a team of voluntary Walk Leaders and voluntary Committee Members. 

The members run the group; therefore it is as active or as inactive as its members wish.  If you have an idea for future development, and would like to see it happen, please do contact a Committee Member.

We are always in need of new Walks Leaders, especially those that are willing to walk shorter distances to encourage new walkers.  Please speak to a walk leader or to the Walks Programme Editor for more information.
