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- South West Coast Path Long May Bank Holiday WeekendYHA Boswinger, St Austell£124.00
THIS EVENT IS NOW FULL!
How about an amazing beach side spring break in Cornwall with up to FIVE days walking and activities and FOUR nights accommodation for an amazing price of just £124. for FOUR NIGHTS OVER A BANK HOLIDAY, outrageous!
You can use your stay to walk the South West Coast Path with the group, to tackle a range of local walks straight from the hostel or to chill and enjoy the beach activities in the area. There is also of course the chance to visit the iconic EDEN PROJECT that is just 14 miles away. NOT TO BE MISSED
The South West Coast Path is 300 miles of amazing. Great walks, stunning scenery, wonderful beaches and some atmospheric pubs and bars as well. We will manage all of those and more at this wonderful location. Picture is of Hemmick Beach near to our accommodation. For those who want to walk every day (and it is entirely optional) we can get virtually from Falmouth to Plymouth -incredible.
This of course includes all of the accommodation and food although on the Thursday arrival night we are not catering and expect participants to eat out at a local pub or restaurant at attendees own expense or self cater at the hostel.
Revised arrangements for the weekend mean that you can choose whether to arrive Thursday or Friday with all nights up to Bank Holiday Monday departure now included without additional cost. It's a bargain.
Breakfast, lunch packups and dinner (x 3) are included with dinner on Thursday night being at attendees own expense at a local hostelry or from fish and chip takeaway or by self catering.
We have no staff as such so help is needed with preparation and clearing up on a voluntary basis. We do cater for most dietary requirements and preferences but please ask if unsure. We don't normally provide biscuits, cakes or desserts so if you want to bring some of these to share that would be lovely.
Accommodation is single sex bunk rooms of a variety of sizes with full bedding provided but not towels.
The cost should now be paid in full at £124.00 payable when you book to which must be added Meetup booking fees when you book via the Meetup app. You can also pay via BACS without Meetup booking fees. You can also split the cost by paying £62.00 when you book and a further £62.00 on the 1st April 2025. If paying via BACS please let us know you have booked and we will then add you to the event manually.
