How Ramblers Benefit by Joining a Rambling Club


If you have ever been hiking or rambling or simply just gentle walking then you will know the joys that ramblers have. You will know how great it is to get outdoors, to challenge yourself to either height or distance and immerse yourself in nature. Also of course it is a great way to exercise.

However ramblers need to organise there hike. If you do this on your own you will need to work out where you want to go, what route you wish to take, where you wish to stay and who will go with you.

So why not join a Ramblers Club. There are so many benefits. When you first join a Ramblers club they usually allow you to ramble with them to ensure you are happy with the club before joining. It does not matter how fit you are or what pace you need to take. A Ramblers Club will take this into account. You will also be with like minded people who love the great outdoors. Rambler Clubs are usually well organised, will have a list of great routes and do most of the organisation.

Looking at the favourite search engines there are many clubs that ramblers use which are very localised to each area. Some Rambling Clubs consist of just a handful of members whilst others are greater in number and who meet regularly for walks, talks and socialising.

The way that clubs are organised is that they have different grades of hikes or walks. It is up to the individual which walk they wish to join. The decision will depend on your level of fitness compared to the difficulty and length of the hike.

Of course you can be a rambler on your own and many people enjoy hiking in their own groups. After all hiking can be enjoyed however it is organised. However if you do not have a like minded group of friends and want to join other Ramblers then a Rambling Club could be a great way to enjoy this excellent pastime.

I enjoy Hiking and Rambling with Ramblers and also writing a Hiking and Rambling blog which I fully populate with videos and articles on a daily basis.

How to Resolve Kids Hiking Problem - Mosquitoes


It is great to take your kids hiking on your favourite hikes and show them why you love the pastime so much. However there are a number of problems when you take kids hiking which you need to tackle a different way to adults. One of these problems is mosquitoes.

During your hike you need to make sure your kids are fully protected by mosquito spray. I know I cannot trust my kids to put on the spray correctly so I always do this myself. So get them to stand still in their kids hiking gear, with their feet nicely apart and their arms stretched out to their sides.

Get them to close their eyes, hold the spray about 12 inches from their bodies and spray all over - hands, arms and torso. Legs and feet are particularly important as this detracts the other bugs from the ground. Next you need to protect their necks and ears. To do this get your kids to put their hands out and spray into their cupped hands. Then ask them to rub behind the ears and neck. You have now given the best mosquito protection for kids hiking during the day. Of course do not forget to spray yourselves as well.

Once your hiking day is completed and you are ready for camp you will need to ensure you are all protected during the night by a mosquito net. This is important for all of the team but especially for kids hiking. There are many types of net you can buy however I always use a Dome or Self supporting net as I find these the best for camping. In addition you need to consider the mesh size which will depend on the where you are hiking and the mosquitoes in the area.

So indeed it is great to take your kids hiking but please ensure they are protected day and night from mosquitoes.

The Yosemite trails span over 800 miles of scenic trails. You will come across some of the most beautiful places in America, from wonderful mountains to pranging rivers. Yosemite offers world class backcountry hiking whether you're looking for an easy stroll around the lake or an extreme hike with elevation gains and strenuous climbs. Few places in America make you feel more in nature than a trip to Yosemite. They have massive redwood trees and a huge variety of wildlife to view. Yosemite offers a perfect combination of all outdoor experiences.

Yosemite has five regions, and they are:

Yosemite Valley:
Yosemite Valley is the place to be, with the majority of the staggering views across Yosemite, the valley itself is only seven miles long, but beats the rest of the regions in terms of magnificent scenery. Yosemite Valley is the most popular destination.

Tioga Pass Road:
Tioga Pass has a pinch of everything, from lakes and meadows to peaks and hikes. Accommodation only lasts through the summer months, so unless you are extraordinarily brave you will not be able to go any other time.

Southern Yosemite:
Southern Yosemite has some of the best trees in the United States, with over 300 giant Sequoias. The momentous Wawona hotel boasts over 100 rooms, and is one of the most popular places to stay in Southern Yosemite.

Glacier Point Road has the tallest peaks around. They go all the way up to an astounding 7800 feet, ranging through 16 miles of sunning landscape.

Hetch Hetchy & Big Oak Flat:
Hetch Hetchy & Big Oak Flat has come under some serious renovation works in the past 10 years, making it one of the least visited regions in the Yosemite region, however, because of this you will find some of the most relaxing destinations around.
