We are a well established walking group with over
50 members from the Ryedale area of North Yorkshire. Walks are organised
fortnightly throughout the year and we meet up at Pickering Swimming Pool at 9.00am, unless otherwise stated in the
programme.
The group is keen to promote car
sharing or the use of public and community transport to get to the start of
walks. We aim to walk every two weeks on either a Saturday or a Sunday. During
the summer months we organise our fortnightly Pickering Walks of around
five miles on Thursday evenings on the rights of way around Pickering.
Ryedale Walking Group on Whernside (2416') on 27th April 2008
Our weekend walks vary between seven and thirteen
miles in length and our favourite areas are Ryedale, the North Yorkshire Moors,
the Yorkshire Wolds, the Cleveland Hills and the Vale of York including the
Howardian Hills. Most walks take place within 35 miles of Pickering but we also
travel further afield occasionally on weekend breaks. We travel north, south,
east and west and enjoy the beauty of our area to the full. We think that the
social side of our walking group is important so whilst on our walks we often
frequent tearooms, look in churches and at anything else of architectural
interest. We have also been known to frequent fish and chip shops and even pubs!
New members and visitors to the area are welcome to join us anytime. We are a
non-profit making organisation but we ask for a small donation or modest annual sponsorship fee from our regular
walkers to cover the few expenses that we have.
Please read carefully and accept the
legal policy before you walk with us.

section to see what we have been up to, since the group formed in 2006.
