Wild Walks

Generally we walk between 10 and 18 miles in a day, depending on the terrain, altitude and also the location of places to stay. Sometimes we may stay at one base and sometimes we will backpack to the next location. We use a mixture of B&Bs, guest houses and Youth Hostels, depending on the preferences of members. Some are not keen on Youth Hostels, but they may be the only option!

The trips are usually about 4 days or so, and about 3 to 6 members may go on each trip. We usually try to use trains/buses for the trips, so to obtain the cheap railway tickets we try to plan each trip a few months in advance. However, sometimes we do use cars and share the petrol costs.

Besides the events listed below, the idea of the Group is also to allow contact between members to arrange ad-hoc walking trips throughout the year.
Shorter walks are also possible if anyone would like to arrange one (in wild places).

If these walking trips appeal to you, and you would like to join our Group, please contact William.

Plans for  2012 include:

April Cambrian Way (including Cadair Idris)
May/June Isle of Arran or Southern Ireland
June Lake District

July South Wales

September Derbyshire
