GANDIA AREA SOCIAL CLUB (INTERNATIONAL)

There are three walking groups associated with the Gandia Area Social Club: Strollers (or Shufflers), Ramblers and Toughies. The Strollers and Ramblers meet weekly on Wednesday mornings between late September and mid-May to enjoy some not-too-strenuous exercise amidst the glorious scenery of this area of Spain. And did you know that walking is good for you ? see article (this will open into a new window, and may be slow to download)

The Strollers for walks in the 'easy' to 'moderate' categories, around 2 - 2.5 hours (3 hours exceptionally) or up to 10 km, with frequent rest-stops, 11.15 am for 11.30 (sharp-ish!) start. Led by Ron & Jean, until end of 2005.

The Ramblers for walks mostly ín the ´moderate´ to ´a bit difficult in places´ range, usually between 2.5 - 4 hours' duration or 10 - 15 kms distance, with occasional rest-stops. Led by Kevin & Anna (96 288 8059 or 665 206 322), 10.45 am for 11.00 am (sharp!) start.

The Toughies are a small number of experienced GASC walkers who meet fairly regularly on Saturdays or Sundays to take on more challenging, and longer, mountain walks.

Meeting venues and start-points vary from week to week. All walkers, especially newcomers, are reminded that they participate at their own risk. Bring sufficient fluids and a packed lunch, unless advised otherwise. Well-behaved dogs are welcome on walks under full responsibility of their owners. All walkers do so at their own risk.

Below is info for the Wednesday morning walks (weather permitting). Anyone is welcome, come along, meet some like-minded people, and try a walk.
