Pacemakers

Welcome to our newest walking group aimed at those who enjoy a more challenging walk!

Our walks are designed to be more strenuous and taxing than those of our other walking groups.  They are not necessarily longer, but certainly not shorter – we are aiming for around seven miles or so – and will involve steeper climbs and descents, and are quite likely to have stiles.  The terrain will be varied and include walking over fields and moors and we will try to avoid walking on tarmacked surfaces wherever possible.

Everyone is welcome to join the walks but, due to their nature, you will need a reasonable level of fitness so that we maintain the pace of the group. The walks are full day walks and you will need to bring a packed lunch. We ask that new members please contact the convenor before joining so we have an idea on numbers.

2026 Programme

DateDayLeaderLocationPostcode

The programme for the new year will be announced shortly

Venue

The walks are further afield than those of our other walking groups so sharing vehicles is important: we meet at 9:30 am at the Park and Ride at Wardley on the A580

Time

We walk on the first Tuesday of the month and the third weekend (either the Saturday or Sunday depending on members’ preference)

If you don’t wish to share transport than you will need to make your own way to the start point ready to begin our walk promptly at 10:30 am

Fee

None
