You have reached the website of Morley College Rambling Club which is attached to Morley College in London, but is open to everyone who loves walking in the wonderful British countryside. If you are already a member this is the place to find up-dates to our programme of events as well as a selection of photos taken on our walks. If you are browsing you are welcome to join us on one of our walks before becoming a member. But please help our walk leaders by letting us know in advance if you plan to attend (some leaders require this). Some walks involve pre-booked lunch stops. Please contact our walks organiser Tony on walks@morleyramblers.uk or phone 07484 297 500. (Members please book with the walk leader.) You can see upcoming walks on our programme page. (NB in response to a recurring technical glitch, you can see an alternative version of the walks programme here, if necessary.)
Members section
The members section is available to all members of Morley College Rambling Club. You will need to register the first time you visit. Once your registration has been accepted (that is, we have checked you are a member), you will be able to log in and see the Club page. Non-members may request a club membership form by emailing members@morleyramblers.uk.
Advice on walking among cattle
Walking in the countryside involves a number of hazards, from wonky stiles to herds of curious cows. This link (from Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust) provides a brief guide to walking through a field with cattle.
