Walking: Main🚶♀️
This is a very friendly group and we look forward to welcoming new members. All our walks are based around public transport.
We walk on the first Wednesday of the month. The walks are between 5 and 7 miles using a different leader each month.
A packed lunch is required along with a drink and something to sit on. Walking boots or shoes are recommended together with a waterproof coat.

Saltaire to Bingley Linear – Approx. 5 miles
Category: Definitely Moderate
Leader: Maureen (07929 273967)

From Saltaire Station, the walk goes through Roberts Park then up the side of the Shipley Glen tramway to Old Glen House. We continue through Trench Wood, past the fish pond then climb again to Gilstead, then drop down to Dowley Gap on the canal. We then follow the canal into Bingley, up to Myrtle Park and down to the river which we follow to the Brown Cow Pub for lunch.
Booking for lunch is essential! This is done through Maureen.
If you do not wish to join us for lunch, you are still very welcome to come on the walk, just turn up no need to book.
I ask you all to bring boot covers to put on before entering the pub, as a courtesy. Old shower caps will do or plastic bags.
Don’t forget a picnic and a sit-mat. Please wear appropriate clothing and footwear.
Catch the 10.26am Train to Skipton and alight at Saltaire. Purchase an Off-Peak Day Return Ticket to Bingley - £3.90 with your Metro Card. Return trains from Bingley are at 08 and 38 minutes past the hour.
