(Page updated 4th February 2019)
We are a small friendly group of enthusiastic walkers who meet up about twice a month. Most walks are on Tuesday mornings, covering about 6 – 8 miles. We also arrange occasional longer walks for those who like a challenge.
We meet at 0930 in Orston Village Hall car park for all walks unless otherwise indicated. We then arrange car sharing on an adhoc basis where we need to drive to the start of a walk.
New walkers are very welcome whether you come along for one walk or join us on a regular basis. Please contact Pauline on 01949 851379 or email paulinefaz@live.com if you would like to be included on our email circulation list or would like any further information
Next Walks:
Here are the proposed walk dates for the next walks – Please keep an eye on your email for information about possible cancellation if the weather is particularly bad. All morning walks, meeting Orston Village Hall car park at 0930, unless otherwise indicated. Please let Pauline know if going direct to the walk start point.
If a walk has to be cancelled, Pauline will normally circulate an email by 8am on the day of the walk.
Tuesday 12th February Pauline will lead a 5.5 mile walk starting from Bottesford, using mostly field paths towards Kilvington/Staunton, then swinging round back to Bottesford by similar field and field edge paths.
Good open views. Some easy stiles, a couple more testing ones. Note: one difficult stile that would be problematic for dogs – would need lifting over. If we get a lot of rain Pauline will work out an alternative as the field paths could be too muddy. The walk will start from the free public car park off Walford Close, close to the Doctor’s Surgery in Bottesford. If going direct to the car park, please be there for 0945
I am trying to complete the walk schedule for the next few months. I have filled some slots (thanks) but please let me know if you can lead a walk for the group on any of the vacant dates;
Tuesday 26th February Bob Clarke
Tuesday 12th March Janet & John
Tuesday 26th March Lyn & Tony
Tuesday 9th April John J
Tuesday 23rd April ??
Tuesday 7 May ??
Tuesday 21st May ??
For all of the above, meet 0930 Orston Village Hall Car Park for usual car sharing. If going direct to the start of the walk, please let me know so that we can look out for you (email or 07811 001197)
Thanks to everyone who has volunteered to lead walks. If you can take on one of the future dates please let Pauline know even if you haven’t yet got a walk in mind.
If you want to check out if a proposed walk would be OK or need more information about what is involved, please don’t hesitate to contact Pauline (email or 01949 851379)

Further Adventures in the Yorkshire Dales – May 2018
A record 19 walkers enjoyed some wonderful weather in beautiful Arkengarthdale. A few photos for the album are included below:
Adventures in The Yorkshire Dales – May 2017
Another very successful trip to Arkengarthdale, the northern most Dale. As usual we stayed at the CB Inn. Excellent accommodation, good food and great beers. Eleven of us made the trip and the weather was unbelievable. In fact it was rather too hot on the walk from Richmond on the final day (28 degrees!). John Johnson met us on arrival at the CB Inn having completed approx. half The Coast To Coast walk the previous week. He left us on the last day with Gordon to complete the easterly part of the Walk heading to Robin Hood’s Bay. Well done to both.
