🌿 Thank you for walking with us! 👣

From 18 to 31 May, walking clubs across Northern Ireland came together for UFRC's Walk with Us campaign.

From coastal paths and forest trails to local parks and country lanes, many of you stepped out to enjoy the physical, mental and social benefits of walking with our member clubs.

A sincere thank you to every club that organised events, every volunteer who led walks, and everyone who laced up their boots and joined in. The enthusiasm helped showcase the value of walking together as part of a club and encouraged more people to explore the outdoors in good company.

Whether you joined one walk or more, it was wonderful to have you Walk with Us.
Keep an eye on the ulsterrambling.com website for more club-led opportunities.🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️

The perfect way to end the weekend — and the campaign! 🌿

The Armagh Rambling Club are closing out Walk with Us in style with an easy 90-minute stroll around the beautiful Craigavon Lakes this Sunday 31st May at 2pm. 👣

This is a gentle, accessible walk that's ideal for anyone who's been thinking about joining a walking club but isn't sure where to start. No steep climbs, no pressure — just lovely lakeside scenery and great company.

It's the last Walk with Us event of the campaign, so if you've been on the fence, make that first step this weekend.

Register ahead of time to join this free walk: https://www.ulsterrambling.com/events/walk-with-us-18-31-may-26/

Don't miss your last chance to Walk with Us in the Mournes! 👇

The Mourne Rambling Group are heading out this Sunday 31st May at 09:30, exploring the stunning surroundings of the Mournes. It's a brilliant way to round off the Walk with Us campaign. ⛰�

This is a relaxed and sociable walk, perfect for anyone looking to find their feet with a friendly, welcoming club. It's free - just register with the club in advance.

One of our favourite walks of the campaign is coming up this Saturday, and there's still time to join! 👇
The Down Danderers are tackling Doan in the Mournes this Saturday 30th May and are inviting new walkers to join them as part of the Walk with Us campaign. ⛰👣

The walk comes with a top review from the club: "It's a brilliant route and a great chance to see the heart of the Mournes from this wee mountain with a big view." 🌄 - Sinead, Club Secretary

This is a more challenging route, so it's one for those with a good level of fitness, but the reward is some of the most spectacular scenery in Ireland on a half-day walk you won't forget.

So what are you waiting for? Come and Walk with Us this weekend.
It's completely free - simply register in advance by contacting the club.
