Next walk: July 5th -- Sedbergh - Cumbria

Details available as of 1st July

Number of places on coach Last few available...

The July walk takes us to the lovely town of Sedbergh on the eastern fringes of Cumbria, previously falling in the historic boundaries of West Riding Yorkshire. Its a lovely town to visit, with plenty of facilities plus free coach parking in the towns centre (Josh Lane Car Park) near toilet facilities.There is plenty of post walk refreshment facilities from cup of tea to something more frivolous and exciting. Return time is expected to be 5.30pm, to be confirmed on the day. As usual there will be a choice of 3 walks of varying difficulties led by our volunteer leaders. Sedbergh is worth a visit for a day out even if you are not upto walking at the moment, and is a fun way of supporting the club and filling the bus.
