Walking Group

Long walks (usually 7-10 miles) take place on the first Friday of each month. Generally the final decision of where we'll go is made a day or two before (to take account of weather conditions) so please telephone one of the walk leaders to get details. We usually take a packed lunch and hot/cold drinks so that we can stop at a convenient point for a break.

The next long walk on November 7th will start at 10 a.m. from Sutton Bank Cark Park. (Meet near the toilets!) The walk is 7.5 miles long and will take about 4 hours with stops. The route is via the Nature Trail towards Lake Gormire, then to Southwoods Lodge, Tang Hall and across the fields to Boltby. From Boltby we climb up to High Barn, then back along the Cleveland Way.

Short walks (up to 4 miles) take place on the second and fourth Fridays of each month, and are usually led by Bryn and Jackie. If you plan to go, it is advisable to phone Bryn or Jackie between 9 - 9.30 a.m. on the day of the walk, to confirm that there are no changes of venue and to make sure that the group waits for you, if you get delayed. Shared transport can usually be arranged between group members.

Short walks start at 10.30 a.m. promptly, are usually 'circular', and often finish up near a pub or café where lunch can be taken if you wish to join us.
