Coach Trips

The December 2024 London Trip! WOW, what a great walk that was, although overcast, grey and, at times, wet the markets themed route certainly added plenty of colour to the day and was clearly enjoyed by all. Will it be the last London trip? Well, if the response on the coach was anything to go by then I suspect not, although, from time to time, considering other city locations should be considered. So, if you've got an idea of your own then we'll be happy hear about it.

13th April, to Oxford, was another great success, thanks to Peter Rickwood and Andy Whitehead, with two routes basically following the River Thames into the City. We also had the 3rd option of a 6 mile city circular, taking in many of the interesting aspects of the city. At the end, we were treated to many of the Oxford treats of historic buildings, churches, schools, universites, music, food smells, food, and for some, maybe a few too many ales, but we all got back to the coach in good time and a relaxing trip back to Wellingborough.

22nd June is the next coach trip and will be to Felixstowe, and the booking list is open!! Just talk to the person on the walk desk, or by email or message from the Facebook site or our website.

This will be an all day coach trip from Wellingborough departing from Castle Way at 08.00 prompt.
As is customary it will include approximately 10km and 20km walks from drop off points, and the route is still being finalised.
If you wish to join us for this event the member cost will be £25. Non-members are welcome for a small additional fee, or why not become a member on the day for just £5 per calendar year to get the membership price and many other benefits.
We request a £10 per person deposit at the time of booking in person or for on line bookings the payment can be made by bank transfer or cheque. Until your deposit is received your booking will be considered provisional. The balance of £15 will be payable on boarding the coach by cash, cheque or card payment.
