What we’re about
Nottingham HF is a friendly, long established walking club. We run fortnightly coaches mainly to Derbyshire and Staffordshire, but also to Leicestershire and Yorkshire. Most walks will be circular based upon the named location but the use of a coach gives us the opportunity to occasionally offer linear walks. On each trip three levels of walk are available: 10-12 miles, 7-8 miles and 5-6 miles and are led by experienced walkers. Coach pick-ups are at Keyworth Square 8.40am, then at County Hall, West Bridgford at 9 am, then the centre of Nottingham, Maid Marian Way at the bus stop on the left going North (just round the corner from Mount Street) at 9.15am, and then on the A610 by the Nuthall Pub 9.25am, opposite to Phoenix Park tram terminus (where free parking is also available on the slip road). There are also Wednesday morning car/bus rambles twice a month, usually ending in a pub lunch. You will be allowed to come on one or two of our walks before we ask you to join the club and pay our annual membership fee (£15 single, £25 couple), But if you wish to come regularly on walks with us, we recommend that you join the club.

You can book your own room (from £100 for two nights) or book a space in a shared room (£48 for two nights). Booking early is recommended as the rooms do fill up. YHA Hartington. If you book in a shared room, please message me, and I will try and get everyone on this weekend put in the same room (one for men and one for women).

Evening meals are also available at the hostel, these are between £9 and £13 for a main. and there is the Devonshire Arms pub nearby as another option for an evening meal.
