About Us

Aims of the Club:

We aim to provide a wide and varied programme of walks throughout the year, designed to appeal to walkers of all abilities and different levels of fitness.

Walking Groups

Bury HF consists of TWO formal walking groups and an ad hoc group which meets on the second and fourth Thursday

of the month Members are entitled to walk with either, and both, of the groups below:

Tuesday Group:

These walks are in the range of 8 to 12 miles at a sustained pace or a shorter distance with a steep climb.

Saturday Group:

We meet at the starting point of the walk. The programme offers a walk of approx 6 miles each week. You might like to consider taking a snack and a drink.

Footpath Officer

Our Footpath Officer is Robert Hargreaves. If you wish to report a blocked right of way or dangerous stile etc you can contact Robert by email at roberthhargreaves@gmail.com or phone him on 079 41 22 57 05. Please include if possible photographs and a grid reference of the location of the issue.

Car Passengers:

As a club, we encourage members to car share. An appropriate contribution towards fuel costs should be agreed between the driver and the passenger. The currently suggested amount is 30p per mile.

Suitable clothing and footwear is essential for all of our walks. You are advised to take a packed lunch (except Saturday) and a drink with you.

Dogs are not permitted on any of our walks.

Subscriptions:

The annual subscription is £5. You would be most welcome to come along on two or three walks, after which, should you decide to join us, we would expect you to pay the subscription.

Annual subscriptions are due following the AGM, which is held in September.

Safety on Walks:

A public liability policy covers the club. The policy does not cover personal accidents which may occur on walks.

Members participate on any club walk entirely at their own risk. The club and the leaders cannot be held responsible for loss or damage to personal property or for any injury, however caused.

Walkers should not walk ahead of the walk leader, unless this has been agreed.
