Ramen Ramble 🍜
Ready for an afternoon of fresh air, a good leg stretch, and a steaming bowl of delicious ramen at the finish line?
Here’s the plan:
Walk Level: Mixed – some challenging parts (especially uphill near the Hemlock Stone), but plenty of easier sections too. It’s a workout, but a fun one!
Walk Duration: Around 2.5 hours
Meal Duration: However long you like – enjoy it!
When: Saturday 24th May, 2025
Start Time: Meet at 1:45pm in Bramcote Park car park (parking is free).
Walk Start: We leave promptly at 2pm.
Finish Time: Around 5:30pm (depending on the pace).
Ramen Reservation: 4:30pm at Ramen Hassaku, a brilliant little ramen restaurant in Stapleford.
Route: We'll set off from Bramcote Park, head past the iconic Hemlock Stone, climb through the woods (brace yourself for a bit of an incline!), then stroll down into open parkland. From there, we’ll join the Erewash Trail and wander along the peaceful Erewash Canal before heading into Stapleford for a well-earned feast.
Pace:
We'll walk at a steady, social pace, but please be prepared for a solid 2.5-hour walk with a few hills and uneven paths.
Accessibility:
Some sections are on rougher ground and include hills, so unfortunately this walk is not fully accessible for wheelchairs or pushchairs.
Weather Plan:
This is an all-weather walk (unless conditions are dangerous). Please check the forecast and dress appropriately. Waterproofs and layers are always a good idea but I’m hoping for some sun!
Cost:
It’s free to join the walk – you just need to pay for your food at the restaurant.
Most mains are around £12–£13.
Sides are about £5.
Drinks start from £2.50.
Please bring cash they don’t accept cards.
Places:
Places are limited to keep the group manageable and because the restaurant is quite small. Places have already been booked in advance.
If you find you can’t come after booking, please let me know as soon as possible to help me and the restaurant manage numbers.
What to Bring:
Comfy walking shoes (trainers or boots)
A water bottle
Weather-appropriate gear (coat, hat, sunscreen depending on the day)
Walking poles if you have them – for the climb down!
Some cash for your meal
A big appetite!
