What we’re about
🌍 Join CHA Bradford - Coach Holiday Association 🌍
Escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and embrace the great outdoors with CHA Bradford, your local hiking community in the heart of Bradford and immerse yourself in a day out hiking in Nature! 🥾
Why Choose CHA Bradford?
✅ All Ages and Abilities Welcome: Whether you're a seasoned hiker or just starting, our friendly and diverse group caters to everyone.
✅ Variety of Hike Levels: Choose from three different hike levels: A, B or C walks, ensuring there's a perfect fit for everyone, regardless of your hiking experience and ability
✅ Seamless Logistics: Forget about transportation hassles! Our guides provide directions on how to reach your hike start point for our weekly Saturday walks so all you need to do is show up and enjoy the hike
✅ Sunday Coach Trips: Explore new horizons with our Sunday coach trips every two weeks, featuring breath-taking landscapes and scenic routes such as Yorkshire Dales, Lake District, Lancashire and beyond. There are pickup points along the way and our members come from a wide breath of locations. Please see coach trip details for hike destinations and coach trip price.
✅ Guided Hikes: Each hike has a dedicated walk leader, most often with experience of leading groups ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for all participants. However, not all our walk leaders are qualified and although you walk at your own risk, it is thought to be safer walking in groups than individually
✅ Socialize and Relax: You can choose to socialise during the hike or if you prefer to get lost in nature and absorb the scenery you can. Wrap up your hike at a cosy pub or café, where you can relax, grab a drink, and connect with fellow hikers.
✅ Try Before You Commit: New joiners get three trials to experience the camaraderie and excitement before choosing to become a member.
✅ Exclusive Membership Benefits: Become a member for an annual fee of just £10 per person or £18 for couples. Enjoy club newsletters and a detailed yearly syllabus outlining upcoming hikes across all walking groups as well as social nights
✅ Extended Hiking Holidays: Beyond local hikes, we offer 2 yearly in country weekend trips away (we've been to Scotland, Wales, isle of Wright etc) and a foreign trip abroad for those craving more exploration and hiking (we've been to Greece, Spain, Majorca to name a few, and have The Lycian way and Crete to look forward to!)
