Welcome
Welcome to the website of the Gloucestershire Outdoor Group (GOG).
The Gloucestershire Outdoor Group (GOG) exists to bring people together for a range of activities and social events with the emphasis on walks in the Cotswolds and the Forest of Dean and weekends away further afield. We try as far as possible to have an event every Sunday during the day and every Thursday evening.
Walking is not all we do - we aim to provide a range of additional activities including other outdoor activities such as sailing, horse riding and cycling. Social events include talks and slide evenings, pub quizzes, etc. mainly around the Cheltenham and Gloucester area.
The walks we offer include summer evening walks (maybe an easy 3 or 4 miles), local Sunday walks (often between 6 and 10 miles) and occasionally more energetic mountain hikes in for example the Brecon Beacons. Each walk or hike is organised by a particular person who can be contacted for more information beforehand. The weekends away may be in the city, the coast or in a National Park - in fact anywhere you can hostel or camp. The range of events is determined by the interests of our members and we’re always open to new ideas.
Membership, for which there is a small charge, will ensure that you receive a quarterly programme and will keep you informed of events you may wish to attend.
If you would like to know more about the group, feel free to give us a call or send us an email. We can send you a programme of events and we hope that you will find something of interest to you.
You will find here details of our events, membership information, links to sites of interest and contact information.
We hope you find this website useful and look forward to meeting you!
