"Walk and be happy, walk and be healthy" Charles Dickens

We walk on Wednesdays throughout the year, exploring picturesque locations in Derbyshire and northeast Staffordshire. The circular walks are around 7-9 miles over varying terrain.

Please use the message link above to contact Graham Harris, Group organiser, for more information, we would love to hear from you and if you walk with us you will be made very welcome!

Are we the correct group for you? Well ..........

If you can start at 10:30 with steady stride,

And face the path with courage in your heart;

If you can laugh when muddy trails confide

That every step becomes a work of art;

-

If you can share your stories on the way,

And listen closely to those you walk beside

If you can pause and breathe the fresh cool day,

And know that peace is found in every stride;

-

If muddy paths and rain can’t steal your smile,

And aching legs won’t dim your spirit’s song;

If stories, jokes, and kindness bridge each mile,

And help the weary feel they still belong;

-

If you can reach the end with spirits high,

With memories made, and friendships strong and true

Yours is the trail, the triumph, and the sky,

And — what is more — you're a proud Wednesday friendly walker too.

Come and give us a try on a Wednesday- Please use the message link above to contact Graham Harris, Group organiser, for more information, we would love to hear from you!

If you still want to walk but can't make Wednesdays, there is a Tuesday Tramper walking group that offers similar distance weekly walks on a Tuesday, or if you prefer shorter walks, there is a Walks Short group, walking fortnightly on Thursday mornings or the Wednesday Wanderers or if you would like to travel via public transport - the Walks by Public Transport (last Friday of month) could be your perfect solution.
