Overview

Huddersfield Group A+ walk.

Our A+ walks, usually on the 2nd Saturday of the month, are for those who enjoy a challenging walk, often at a brisker pace and sometimes with considerable ascent and descent and/or rough, off-path terrain. A high level of physical fitness and stamina is therefore required. If in doubt, please contact the leader in advance of the walk to ask for friendly advice.
