Doncaster Outsiders

2021/2022

Welcome to Doncaster Outsiders Walking Club, expect a warm inclusive welcome from our friendly approachable members.

We now have a program of walk dates for 2022, although some of the details may still have to be finalised.

Click on the ‘2022 Walk Dates’ here or on the menu for the current program.

Due to circumstances brought about by lockdown, we now have plenty of room for new starters, so please get in touch if you would like to join us, for a fun packed Sunday day out walking and socialising. (Contact details at bottom of this page)

The coach leaves Doncaster Market Car Park at 8.00am generally every fourth Sunday (free parking on Sundays) for a full day out to enjoy a variety of interesting walks, in the Yorkshire Dales, North York Moors, Yorkshire Wolds, East Coast, Peak District etc.

Unfortunately, the pick up route has now been reduced to decrease costs. It has been a difficult few months and we have had to make a number of changes in order to reduce costs and guarantee income going forward.

We are introducing a membership of £10/month or £120/year for regular walkers in January 2022, with a none member fee of £13 for individual walks. Members will pay a £2 attendance fee.

With prior notification there is provision to pick up along the following route.

The coach pick up points and times for 2021 & 2022 are:

                                     7.45am bus stop before the Winning Post, Balby, and the betting shop on Balby road.

                                     7.55am Market Car Park (aiming to leave at 8.00am)

We recommend sturdy walking shoes/boots as we often cover uneven terrain and basic footpaths, waterproofs in case of rain, a fleece when sat outside, and a drink/sandwiches. A full suggested ‘KIT LIST‘ is available by clicking here or on the menu.

Please read the Responsibilities page so that you know what to expect from our well organised walks.

There are generally two walking groups in the morning. The ‘A’ Team walk is between 8 and 11 miles and the ‘B’ walk is usually 2 or 3 miles shorter. Each have a mid walk stop for eating any sandwiches and drinks you bring, and will arrive at a welcoming pub in the early afternoon (In larger villages and towns there may be tea & coffee shops nearby if you prefer, but pubs often serve teas, coffees and none alcoholic drinks).

We usually take up to an hours break before the afternoon walk of around 3-4 miles, but if you’ve done enough or prefer to spend longer socialising with our entertaining members,  simply do your own thing or take it easy and have a look round the area.

The coach will generally depart around 4:30pm to 5.00pm to pick up the afternoon walkers and return to Doncaster.
In the Summer we often venture further from Doncaster, so can be later getting back home.(ie between 6.00 and 7.00pm)

We look forward to meeting you
