Our Summer Evening walks are about 5 miles in length starting at 7pm. Further details from Vera Silberberg .

Our Tuesday walks are 7–8 miles in length starting at 10:30. Further details from Marilyn Skelton

Our Wednesday walks are usually about 10 miles in length starting within 40 miles of York, to the east of the A1. Popular areas are the North York Moors, the Yorkshire Wolds and the Hambledon Hills. On the third Wednesday of each month two walks are offered, one to the west of the A1, usually in the Yorkshire Dales, and one to the east. We take a picnic lunch. Further details from Steve Hoather.

Our walks are for those who want a healthy walk in the local countryside with good company and who don't want to "go too far or too fast". Further details from Jackie Glew or Margaret Green.

Walks around York and Yorkshire using public transport for those who are without access to a car or who prefer to leave it at home.

Click to get Walks Programmes of the Dalesbus Ramblers (catch the Sunday bus services - see separate PDF ), the Penistone Line Partnership and the Driffield Dodger bus service which goes from there to Malton via Sledmere, Wetwang, Fimber, Fridaythorpe, Thixendale and Wharram Percy. In doing so it offers a way into the Wolds (albeit Sat, Sun & BH only) with connections to the Coastliner & TPE rail services.

We customarily organise two coach rambles each year. This year on 27th May we are going to the Peak District. Two walks start at Hayfield and one at Barber Booth and all end at Edale. The most challenging route will cross Kinder Scout some 80 years after ramblers famously "trespassed" onto these moorlands. There will be pick-up points at Hospital Fields and at Memorial Gardens. For the second ramble on 7th October we are going to Upper Teasdale. Further details from Vera Silberberg or phone 01904-628134.
