This is a club that likes to explore disused railway lines. They organise walks throughout the country, for people of varying ages and abilities, usually on disused railways, although occasionally they explore old canals and even Roman roads. They are not a high-powered hiking club concerned mainly with clocking up the miles. They are more interested in finding what remains of our industrial heritage, in good company, and ideally with a pleasant pub stop for lunch.

There's a lot on here, walks, kit, accommodation etc etc

The British Walking Federation's member clubs organise events designed for people of all ages and abilities. You don't have to be a member of a club to take part, all you need to do is come to an event and register and take the opportunity to have fun, make friends. Participants walk at their own pace enabling them to improve their personal fitness through regular, non-competitive exercise.

Founded in 1971, The Vikings are the oldest and largest Dark Age re-enactment society in the UK, and probably the world. With over 700 members throughout Britain, and others in Europe and the US, The Vikings are the premier society presenting re-enactments of the Viking Age. While the Society concentrates mainly on the 10th Century, some events are set in the wider period from 790 to 1066, with the appropriate modifications to dress and equipment used. Our aim is to provide an accurate and educational portrayal of the Viking period, with an equal emphasis on the daily life of the period, and on the more warlike aspects of life in what was a formative period in European history.

Based in York, probably the premier centre of it's kind in the UK

As the walking group was originally founded by Postmen and there are still some members in the Post Office, I thought it appropriate to have some links to Post Office related groups / sites.

a good link to Worth Valley railway which is near Cullingworth. NB they have real ales on board or at stations. (So Chris tells me) Not a drinking club Chris!

These are the cattle seen in the northern part of the village (in fields).

Link to BBC4 page with info and playable episodes of "The Great Outdoors" A brilliant comedy about a walking club.
