WORKSOP GROUP

 

We are a very lucky group in that we have many experienced leaders who are happy  to take our walks for us.  This means we can offer a very varied range of walks which cover Sundays and now the first Thursday and third Saturday of each month.

 

Our average walk length is 10 miles, though they can be as little as 8 or a much as 15 depending on the leader.

 

We do walk mostly in Derbyshire, but have walks in Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire, South Yorkshire and Leicestershire during any given year.

 

We run an informal car share system to try and do our little bit for the environment, aid parking and help drivers petrol costs.  Anyone wishing to go straight to the start of the walk MUST contact the leader for the most up to date details.  Our programme is a yearly one, and consequently some alterations are unavoidable.

 

Do please check the Walks Classification shown below, so not to overtax yourself particularly on your initial ventures.

 

We think we’re a friendly group, and you would always be made welcome.  We run several social events a year, including YHA Weekends, Coach rambles, Pie & Pea evenings, Summer evening walks, a Barbecue and an annual Dinner Dance.

 

So if I’ve not put you off, do please have a browse through our programme below.

 

Please contact Sue or Paul by email if you want a hard copy of the programme or if you want further details of any walks, and or the walks leaders.

 

Hope to see you out there one day.
