Description

Thursday Walkers

We have a range of walks to suit everyone's ability! The walk leader will have walked the route in advance, noting any historical or environmental matters of interest.

Walking boots and a kagoule (or other wet-weather gear) form part of our essential equipment.

Thursday Challenging Walks

Walks are challenging in terms of distance, terrain and need a good level of fitness.  Good footwear and clothing for all weather is essential.  Review personal risk assessment check list before every walk.  Often an hour's travel to meeting place.

Thursday Long Walks

We meet every month, the first walk being more challenging, depending on the time of year the walks are usually 8 to 12 miles long.

  • Good footwear and clothing for all weathers essential.
  • Can involve challenging ascents and terrain.
  • Bring a packed lunch.
  • Often one hour's travel from Barnsley.
  • Detailed programme in the Buzz.

We are always looking for new walk leaders, and exploring new walks in the surrounding area. You are welcome to come along and take a walk with us before deciding whether to join the group.
