North Cornwall
The Camel group of the Rambler's Association covers the beautiful Camel estuary, rugged moorlands, hidden valleys and attractive villages. From breathtaking views along the coastal fringes to the atmospheric Cornish rainforest North Cornwall has it all.
Membership of a local walking group gives you the opportunity to join like-minded people to enjoy regular walks and social events. The walks in our programme are graded according to difficulty making it easy for you to improve your fitness. Walks leave promptly at the stated time so allow time to boot up and get ready. There are two or three walks a month organised by the Camel Group and they are open to all members of the Ramblers UK. The walks take routes off the beaten track and visits places it would be difficult to find alone.
Britain's unique network of public paths are all too often blocked, obstructed, or overgrown. The Ramblers Association works with local authorities to make them a pleasure to walk on. We strive to ensure that any development in the countryside is undertaken with informed sensitivity.
Join us on a walk before you join The Ramblers to appreciate what a friendly group we are. We look forward to meeting you soon.
Best wishes
David Mackenzie
Group Secretary

Facebook
Ray is experimenting with a Camel Facebook site. You can find it at
Camel Group on Facebook
If you haven't tried Facebook it's a good place to share photos and even videos or start up discussions. Give it a go. If you haven't been on Facebook before you will have to register - however this is totally free. Give it a go and let us know what you think. It's fun. I love seeing my friends photo albums and videos. Ramblers HQ have a site as do the OU.
