We are a friendly outdoor group based in West London. Our main outdoor activity is walking although we do occassionally do other activities such as cycling and pony-trekking. Ealing Outdoor Club is affiliated to the Youth Hostels Association (England and Wales) and has been in existence for over 60 years.
We have organised walks most Sundays. We meet in either Ealing or Uxbridge and we walk in the Chilterns, Surrey and other areas around London. We mainly drive to the start of the walk. There are normally spaces available in cars for people who do not have their own transport. Some walks use public transport. Walks are normally between 8 and 12 miles in length often with a pub stop for lunch.
In addition to Sunday walks we have weekends away with organised walks each day. Our weekends away often coincide with Bank Holiday weekends. We stay at Youth Hostels if available, although some of our members prefer staying at B&B accommodation close to the Youth Hostel.
Our Membership is made up of people with a diverse range of professions and backgrounds. Membership is open to people of any age
Come along to one of our Sunday walks if you are interested. You need to ensure that you have adequate clothing. Wearing a pair of walking boots is advisable. Please read our club policy regarding participation in club activities.
Membership of the club for a year is £12. You are welcome to come along to a few walks before deciding wether or not to join.
