The word ‘Rambler’ means a person who loves leisure aimless walks or as described in American English ‘a Backpacker’. Rambling is a common summer pastime amongst the working class of Britain.
The lovely picturesque countryside of UK with its amazing terrain & contours attracts a lot of people like me for those long leisure walks after a strenuous hard-working day in front of the computer! Apart from being a wonderful cardiovascular workout rambling allows to increase one’s social circle.
Rambling can be pursued over the weekend as well as on the weekdays, after regular working hours. The sun set in UK summers is sometimes as late as 2200 hrs, giving plenty of time to unwind and explore the various natural habitats. The breezy country side evenings together with wide green pastures adds to the ideal environment for the ramblers.
Now a days, large number of rambler groups have been started by various private and public organizations which aids many a beginners to be associated with a club or a group. Many teenagers also have taken liking towards rambling as a result you find rambling club meets of almost all age groups.
A rambling activity is usually associated with trekking along with photography giving equal opportunity to both seasoned as well as an amateur. The traditional walk always ends with a good sumptuous meal at one of the authentic English country side pub – a reward for the sweating 5-6 hours of those abs-crunching fun and fervor.
