Welcome to our very friendly walking club, we enjoy a variety of interesting walks all over the area, from the Yorkshire Dales, North York Moors, the Coast and the Peak District, to walks around historic sites (Riveaux, Fontains Abbey, Historic Castles) and geological features (Brimham Rocks, Blackstone Edge) and towns like Ripon, York, and Bakewell. New members are very quickly integrated and will find not just a bunch of walkers, but a highly sociable group of like minded people.

Our new exciting plan for 2012 includes popular walks from the past 10 years, some newly devised walks and some we have tinkered with to make even better, and at the end of our walks we try to find the most welcoming locations to relax, so why not join us , get some fresh air, good company and at the same time get fitter, make us your New Years Resolution.

Our walks generally take place once a month, and you can see our plan for 2012 by clicking on to the link (2012 Walk Dates) shown on the left.

If you want to check out what we get up to, the fun we have, and some recent photographs and latest information, check out my update link on the left (Phils Update)

We pick up on Sundays at 8.00am in Doncaster Town Centre and we currently use Whiteheads coaches for our trips. There is also provision to pick up along the following route before reaching the town. (The bus leaves Conisbrough at around 7.00am, Balby 7.15, Armthorpe 7.45, and may sometimes head out of town along York Road. Anyone wishing to be picked up should contact myself or Bev beforehand. (See our Contact link shown on the left)

There are generally two walking groups in the morning. The ‘A’ Team walk is around 8 or 9 miles and the 'B' walk is usually 2 or 3 miles shorter. Each have a mid walk coffee break and will arrive at a welcoming vetted pub in the early afternoon (Sometimes like in Bakewell or Castleford there are tea & coffee shops if you prefer).

For anyone with any energy left they can join our keen walkers for an afternoon walk of around 3-4 miles, but if you prefer to spend longer in the pub there are plenty of members to entertain & socialise with, or you can do your own thing, take it easy,or have a look round.

The coach will then depart the pub at approx 4:30pm to pick up the afternoon walkers and return to Doncaster, not just a walk but a memorable day out with plenty to talk about on the way home.

We look forward to meeting you. 



The coach pick up is at Ward Bros, Waterdale, or outside Trinity (was Camelots) whilst the road works are on, at 8:00am, the fare for each walk is £12.

Dates for the walks are on the 2012 programme page on this website.
