De qué se trata
All our day walks should be easily accessible for Manchester, Sheffield, East Midlands, West Midlands, West Yorkshire and many with good rail links even from London and the South.
Browse our Meetup site and you'll find lots of cracking walks and one or two bike rides as well.
We also have a big schedule of low cost weekends away throughout the year summarised at the link below.
https://www.peakmeetupgroup.com/weekends
We're a group for all ages and stages and I guarantee you'll be made very welcome at any of our events.
If unsure about anything please ask.
Although everyone can join our group without charge, we are a a subscription based group which means that rather than make a charge for individual walks or require members to join the Ramblers Association to take part as some walking groups do, we levy a recurring Annual Membership charge of £10 or offer Life Membership for a one off payment of £35 but we allow your very first THREE MONTHS ABSOLUTELY FREE after which you need to make a decision about your continuing membership of the group. (Free period does not apply to re-joining members)
Full details are at:- https://www.peakmeetupgroup.com/membership
Most of our active members have at some point taken out Life Membership of the group but once achieved requires no further membership payments throughout the life of their membership.
We understand that new members may be little uncomfortable at parting with payments no matter how small without knowledge and experience of our lovely group so also give THREE MONTHS UNCONDITIONAL MONEY BACK GUARANTEE from the date of payment on any subscription payments you make.
The kitty we generate through membership payments enables us to offer a massive program of budget weekends away and to pay our Meetup Fees, Liability Insurance and other expenses. All our activities are entirely NOT FOR PROFIT and none of our organisers or walk leaders draws any income whatsoever. Any income surplus is ploughed back into creating new events.
Please note that we do consider it essential for our group where members do meet each other 'live' that new members should use a sensible screen name that they expect to be addressed by and that they are prepared to upload/show a recognisable profile picture of themselves on our Meetup site.

Ver todo- Cumbria Sea to Sea (C2C) Four Day Bike AdventureWhitehaven Railway Station, Cumbria129,00 GBP
JUST ONE FEMALE PLACE LEFT ONLY!
Our now many ATF (Almost Traffic Free) and Coast to Coast bike rides have been tremendous fun and great camaraderie. Whilst these have included classics like the Way of the Roses (Morecambe to Bridlington), Hadrians Wall Coast to Coast and Tarka Trail in the South West we have always had a notion to do the BIG one. The Cumbria Sea to Sea or C2C crossing both the Lake District and the Pennines to travel from Whitehaven in the West to Tynemouth in the East. Easily doable in four days.
Leave your car in Newcastle or Tynemouth and get the train (with your bike) to Whitehaven ready to start the ride at 10:30am from Whitehaven train station. There is a 7:02am train from Newcastle that gets you in at 10:10am or obviously travel the night before and stay over in Whitehaven.
Day 1: We cycle across the Lake District to Keswick aiming to stay at the YHA there which has bike storage facilities. A mere 31.6miles. Yes, there are a few hills!
Day 2: A rather hillier day up and over the Pennines to Alston which is 40.8 miles.
Day 3: Still quite a lot of ascent to take us to the outskirts of Consett. 28.7 miles.
Day 4: Final Day to Tynemouth, mostly downhill! 35.7 miles
Our cost includes 3 nights hostel accommodation but all other costs need to be individually paid for. In the evenings we will eat out at a pub if we can.
Don't forget you need a bike (!) and bike helmet which is obligatory on all group rides. Please also bring a spare inner tube to fit your bike to save time if punctures occur.
The full cost is £129 which you will now need to pay in full when you book either via Meetup in which case their booking fee will also be payable or direct via BACS but please tell us you are doing this so that we can add you to the event manually.
If you have already paid a £29 deposit the balance of £100 is now due via BACS.

Account Name: Peak Activities & Leisure LimitedIt would not be possible to provide the range of events we do or to cover the cost of insurance and now increasing Meetup fees if we were not a subscription based group which means paying an annual subscription of £10pa or a Life Membership subscription in which case further payments are not necessary.
If attending our weekends away as an unpaid or lapsed subscriber or as a non member guest you are required to pay an additional £10 when balances become due. This applies to all events starting on or after 1st January 2025
