Welcome to the One Step Walkers. We are based around Derby and Nottingham Area. We walk mainly in the Derbyshire Peak District, but also in Staffordshire, Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire. 

One Step Walkers is a friendly walking group aimed at people who are in their 40’s and upwards, based in and around Derby and Nottingham. We put on a range of walks, from 3-mile gentle rambles to 20-mile strenuous hikes.  

We arrange walks in Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire and Staffordshire. We also have weekend and week walking trips across the UK and abroad.  

We have a friendly, enthusiastic membership who are always happy to encourage new walkers. We also have special events, a summer party walking day, Christmas Dance weekend, midweek walking trips and we run walk leader navigation workshops.  

Aside from walking, we run social meet-ups, including visits to local landmarks and sights as well as live music venues, pubs and other activities.  

Whether you are new to walking or an experienced walker who is looking for a group to walk with, you are more than welcome to join us on any of our walks.
