We offer a great day out further afield with someone else driving, walks of different levels either linear or circular, and a welcome meal and drink at the end of the day. There is usually a choice of 4 walks:

  • A+ walk: up to 14 miles, at a faster pace and more strenuous;
  • A walk: about 10 miles at a moderate pace and to include hills;
  • B walk: 6-8 miles at a moderate pace;
  • C walk: around 3-4 miles at a leisurely pace.

Start times and pick-up points

Coaches start 8.30 from either Bradford or Leeds depending on the destination, calling at Thornbury Barracks at 8.45, then Leeds or Bradford at 9am.

Pick-up points

  • Bradford: Nelson Street, near the police station;
  • Thornbury Barracks junction;
  • Leeds: Bus layby outside College of Creative Arts on Eastgate, near Leeds Playhouse.

Booking/cost

The cost will be between £13 and £17 depending on numbers, and is non-refundable. This is payable in advance by BACS or cheque. The cost of the meal (apart from odd occasions like the recent Whitby trip, where we find our own meal) will be around £12, payable at the table. We will aim to find venues offering meals around this price, depending on availability as the hospitality industry has been facing difficult challenges in the last 3 years.

To reserve a place email : Coachrambles or text or telephone Sally on 07712 516502

Early reservation is advised. Once numbers are confirmed you will be contacted regarding payment which should be preferably by bank transfer. Cheques sent by post will also be accepted.

Other information

A packed lunch and drinks are needed. Many bring a change of clothing for after the walk and this can be left on the coach during the day
