Will Ablett started the walking group about 16 years ago, it started as monthly on the first Saturdays and Will led all the walks until others were asked to lead as well. We now have several “leaders” who plot walks, which are normally local, with occasional forays into the Peak District. We tend to keep the walks to around 6-7 miles, with time for coffee together and to enjoy a packed lunch (unless it’s too cold, then we find a warm Pub!).
We have around 20 receive the monthly email announcing the walk, with often more than a dozen taking part. Everyone is welcome, we cater for all walking levels, advising on stiles or where the walk is likely to be a little strenuous.
Contact Will if you’d like to join us…please see notes below.


If you do come along, you do so at your own risk as walking can be a hazardous activity. Children and / or dogs are also welcome, but you have to take full responsibility for them. It is advisable that you have appropriate footwear and clothing with you to cope with any weather and ground conditions that might be met.
