Where are your walks located?
You can find all of our walks listed on the events page of our website.
Currently we are operating in Northamptonshire and Bucks, however, new areas are developing all the time.
We also organise weekend breaks which are available for members and non-members
How often do you walk?

Monday evenings @ 6.15pm
Tuesday or Wednesday day time @ 9.45 am
Thursday evenings @ 6.15 pm
Two weekend walks a month (usually longer walks)
As club members you are also entitled to join a club only walks which includes places like The Cotswolds, Malvern Hills, various scope walks etc.
All the walks are listed on the events page of the website.
How long are your walks?
We cater for everyone.
Evening walks can vary from 2-5 miles.
Weekend walks tend to be from 6-15 miles.
We also run a variety of longer events such as walking up Snowdon, Peak District walks or venturing off to Spain to walk the Camino – however, these breaks will be chargeable.
Do you have to be fit to join?
Our walks are for everyone, however, we do grade the walks as follows:-
- Easy – a very flat route, usually on paved pathways. Average pace is more of a leisurely stroll.
- Moderate – may include a few steep hills, stiles or ploughed fields that can sometimes be proved to be challenging. All walks over 6.5 miles will be graded as moderate.
- Challenging – every now and then we like to increase the pace. If you see a walk that is labelled as challenging then you know that the pace will be fast and that you are likely to break into a sweat. A challenging walk may include hills, mountains or even a geocaching trail that will take us through thick woods whilst in search of plastic boxes.
We split the groups
If we have over 20 attendees then we will split the group into fast and regular paced, which solves two issues:-
- No-one gets frustrated as they are waiting for the slower ones to catch up.
- No-one feels that they are slowing a group down.
- We have tail walkers on all of the walks and groups so no-one is ever left behind.
Do you walk in the winter?
Yes, although the walks in the winter time are usually shorter and are located in reasonably lit areas with well-trodden paths.
All we ask is that you bring along a torch, headlamp or shoe lights, and reflective clothing during the months of October – March.
Are you insured?
Yes.
Are your walk leaders first aid trained?
Yes. The Walk Directors are Outdoor First Aid Trained.
If the walk director is not present then a qualified / dedicated first aider will be nominated for the walk.
What do others say about your walks?
Yes. Not only can you view the walks on YouTube (we usually put together videos for each of our walks), but here are a few testimonials from some lovely people on Facebook. (see all Facebook testimonials here)
Are dogs welcome?
Yes. Dogs are welcome on nearly all of our walks, but we ask for only one dog per human please.
Sometimes you will see a note on an event saying “small dogs only” – this simply means that there may be many stiles on the route which are not dog friendly. Heaving large dogs over stiles can slow the group down, so we ask that only small dogs attend these walks.
If we are aware of cattle in numerous fields on a particular walk, then again we will make a note of no dogs allowed, which is for the safety of the group.
