Walking Groups

Wharfedale Walking (35169/walking)

A friendly way to walk, for reasonably good walkers, at an easy pace up and down the dales. Walks are on Saturdays, weather permitting. We like to stop from time to time to take in the scenery and anything else of interest during the walk. You should have appropriate clothing, boots, equipment, drink and a picnic lunch. A walks programme is provided, but is subject to change. We welcome offers of walks from members and these can be slotted into our schedule. A more detailed description of the walk is sent by e-mail a few days before each Saturday walk, and you reply if you can come. New walkers are welcome to join at any time. Sorry, but no dogs.

Z Ad Hoc Walking (38425/walking)

There is no programme; walks are proposed by group members at short notice taking advantage of good weather. Any group member can propose a walk anytime, anywhere, any length. The proposer can set the maximum group size within any current Covid guidelines. Groups are usually small (historical maximum: 15, average: 6). On joining the group, you will be sent the latest guidelines.

Z Walking Group (38487/walking)

We offer a sequence of short (5-7 miles), medium (8-9 miles) and long (10+ miles) with various degrees of difficulty. We plan to meet at a prearranged walk start point 10 minutes before the time stated in the Walks Programme to get your boots and gaiters on. Suitable clothing, footwear and packed lunches are essential. Join us to meet new friends, walk in the glorious setting of the Yorkshire Dales and Moors together with walks in the Lake District National Park. All walks are at the members’ own risk. Sorry no dogs. Walk Programmes are distributed by email. If you do not have email, please phone George Mackley to get a hard copy of the programme.

Walking Netball (38683/walking)

To reintroduce ex-players to a sport they have always loved or to engage adults in a sport they didn’t realise they could enjoy. We will develop netball skills at a slower pace for everyone to increase physical and social health. Open to everyone, health assessment will be discussed.

Walk to Lunch (38707/walking)

We offer morning walks of around 5 miles followed by lunch in a pub or tearoom - some summer walks are on a 'bring a picnic' basis. A regular commitment to walks and access to e mail are essential. Members must be able to walk at a good pace and manage hills and stiles. Meeting points and pub menus are circulated by email – members must commit to walks in advance as we need to pre-book meals. Additional costs: Lunches. Soup or sandwich from £7, main meals from £10. Transport to walks - we encourage car sharing where practical

Shorty Walks (41725/walking)

Walks under 5 miles for those who prefer gentler exercise in a social context. Walks are offered and led by group members. These are compiled into a programme emailed to all members every couple of months. We will also use a WhatsApp group to arrange extra walks at short notice for any interested members. All walks are at members’ own risk
