Young and want to walk

[omario 10]

Im the same, since moving from the island of jersey, where u can walk anywhere and everywhere, i am yet to find a good walking club,, the 20-30's one seems good but majority are out of sheffield and u have to use the train or bus!... The countryside is just by my doorstep but dont like walking alone! Live near the dronfield area. Will still keep my eye out for some more tho.!... Sheff uni you say... Is it on their website?

 

Heyyy! I am from dronfield too!! Maybe we should just start a new group! get some people together, 17 to 30 no fees, just propper good old walking!!! whos up for it??

No, it says they warmly welcome non-students, so you should be ok.

I suppose it depends on what you want out of a walking group.

 

The Shamblers offer a decent variety of walks such as:

 

Thursday evening walks, generally close to sheffield central and around 4 to 5 miles usually ending in a pub for a (optional) drink afterwards (Twice a Month)

 

Friday Morning Walks generally 3 to 5 miles, which tend to be around south or north Sheffield and usually end up at a pub for a (optional) spot of lunch. (Twice a Month)

 

Saturday Walks, generally 5 to 7 miles some of these are historical walks. (Twice a Month)

 

 

Sunday Walks, generally 7 to 9 miles on occaisions up to 11 miles some of these on the white peak, dark peak and outskirts of Sheffield. (Every Week)

 

 

All of the above are generally on a bus/train/tram route, but we also offer car sharing, all we ask is that if you choose to car share then to offer the driver £3 towards fuel/running costs.

 

We also organise weekends away sourcing out mini-bus hire and accomodation to such as Snowdon. (Two to three times a Year)

 

We also organise holidays and source out the best possible price for a group booking, last year we went to Turkey on a AI week, this year we are off to Tunisia (booked before their troubles (One to two times a year)

 

 

We also have a great social section of the group too, (Twice a month) such as:

 

Curry Nights Out

Quiz Nights

Themed Music Nights

Cinema Trips

Ten-Pin Bowling

Murder Mystery Nights

Games Nights

 

All our member are all different ages and from all over Sheffield, we even have one student from Iran who will be re-joining us again in the summer, and a couple of Spanish members.

We do our best to make anyone welcome who wishes to join us and of course we do have some members who bring their dogs.
