Walks

General Information

All RA members and potential members are invited to join our walks. For these it is advisable to wear boots and suitable clothing. A packed lunch may also be required.

Please note that the ramble routes and distances may be altered at the walk leader's discretion, due to bad weather conditions, etc.

It may be advisable for new walkers to try our shorter walks first, but we would be considerate and accommodating if their initial walk was longer.

Weekend walks take place every Saturday and Sunday with distances from 5 miles upwards, in areas from the immediate locality to further afield. From May until September we offer mid-week evening walks of 5 - 6 miles using local footpaths, and in autumn and winter, daytime mid-week walks of a similar distance take place each month.

Meeting Places

The three main meeting places are:

Birdwell (Moor Lane): Leave the M1 at Jctn 36. Tkae the A61 to barnsley and Moor Lane is the first left, only a short distance from the roundabout. Meet behind the old police station - now a centre for spiritual healing.

Darton: Public car park, Church Street.

Dodworth: Railway station, on main A628 Barnsley Road.

Details of other venues may be obtained from individual walk leaders.
