Walks – Challenging

A monthly walk of eight to ten miles, started in 2017 to tackle longer routes than the branch's long walks group. The original challenge was to walk the 75 mile National Forest Way from Beacon Hill in Leicestershire to the National Arboretum at Alrewas, completed in eight stages, and since then the group has walked the Ivanhoe Way, the Way of the Millennium, the Manifold Way, the Bonnie Prince Charlie Walk, the Derwent Valley Heritage Way, the Derby Nomad Way, the Erewash Valley Trail, most of the Trent Valley Way and the Centenary Way, plus many circular walks. Walk details go out by email about a week beforehand, and members meet at set car parks to arrange car shuttles.
