THE IMPORTANT BIT:
As daring adults, let's embrace our adventurous spirits! Your safety and that of your fellow explorers are in your capable hands. We believe in providing a more intimate and personalised experience, so we prefer to send groups off in smaller numbers so nobody (new or old members) feels left out. Alternatively, you can form your own group with your friends to embark on this thrilling journey together!
TIMINGS: We will meet at 11am. The walk is approximately 2 miles and will take around 2 hours, including stops. The York Dragon Boat Race will also be on, so as we finish nearby, you can watch the boats sail past. You're welcome to join us for a picnic at the end.
DIRECTIONS: At or near York Train Station - TBC. Come by train or book your parking in advance by using this app to save you money: https://www.yourparkingspace.co.uk/
