What we’re about
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.

See all- Seasonal Scafell Xmas Walking Social and Challenge Weekend 2024YHA Wasdale, CumbriaGBP 109.00
THIS WEEKEND IS NOW FULL - THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT
Wasdale Hall is a lovely venue and rarely available for exclusive use so why not have it for our last weekend away of the year.
To say this is a lovely venue doesn't do it justice, a truly beautiful mansion in its own grounds looking down onto Wast Water and up to Scafell it is just amazing.
This is our last party and walking weekender of the year and what a stunning location it is. Scafell, Scafell Pike, Great Gable etc etc etc all straight out of the front door. Amazing.
Saturday and Sunday we shall offer at least two walks on each day to satisfy those with inclinations for an easy pace and high degree of sociability as well as something tougher for our regulars who like it that way!
There will of course be a bonus walk Friday for those available for a suitable start time and general arrival will be 6pm +
All food is included throughout the weekend and vegetarians and other special dietary requirements will be catered for.
This is intended to be a sociable event all weekend so expect a bit of party music both nights and if you play a musical instrument or can provide some other entertainment for us feel free.
Help yourself breakfasts and packed lunches are provided as is hot and cold party food Saturday night but please bring desserts, cakes and other goodies to share as well as your own drinks. Tea and coffee will be provided.
Accommodation is single sex bunk rooms of a variety of sizes with full bedding provided but not towels.
We have run many successful weekends over the last few years but unfortunately recent changes by Meetup and Paypal have made our previous payment model increasingly difficult especially as we always try to keep our price as low as we can.
The cost will now be paid at the full price of £109 payable when you book via Meetup, to which must be added Meetup booking fees. You can alternately pay via BACS as below.
Yes, we know the price is a joke for this quality of event but we want to maintain our low price for all the people that have supported us throughout the year.
Account Code: 40848442 (for balances only)
Sort Code: 56-00-61
