Latest News

  • Our last walk was a walk around High Bradfield near Sheffield, led by Carol. Things didn't go according to plan as there had been a landslip meaning that we couldn't start where intended. Carol managed to saved the day with help from Sam from Sweynes coaches, and was able to come up with an alternative walk in the same area. Despite these hiccoughs, and a continual drizzle throughout the walk, it was another great day with lovely  views and a chance for welcome refreshments at the end at The Old Horns Inn. This walk must be jinxed because the last time it was scheduled in 2016, only half was done due to deep snow. Perhaps it will be third time lucky if we ever venture to do it again.
  • Our next walk is on Sunday 7th June with a trip to Osmotherley, North Yorkshire. It is a walk of just under 13 miles led by Brian Wilde. As usual, it is in 2 halves but please be aware that if you do not wish to walk in the afternoon, insurance rules now state that no one can stay on the bus whilst waiting for the rest of the walkers to finish. Osmotherley has 3 pubs, a café, toilets and a shop, so there are plenty of places to rest and refresh whilst waiting for the group to return. Booking is open now and closes on Wednesday 3rd June 2026.
  • Sweyne Coaches have requested that no food and drink is consumed on the bus. This is due to vermin at the depot who are attracted to dropped crumbs on the coaches.
