The Tyneside Group will be delighted to welcome new walkers at any or all of its four sub-Groups. Every week, on Sundays and Wednesdays, there are organised walks based on coach transport. It’s best to book in advance to ensure a seat because it is not unknown for the coaches to be full. Payment is usually made a week in advance but, for those making a late booking, there are arrangements for payment on the coach. New walkers should contact the relevant Coach Organiser by telephone in the first instance, details are shown on the following pages. Coach Organisers will happily advise you about administrative arrangements concerning advance bookings and cancellations. There is a choice of several walks on each outing. These usually start from different points en route but converge to meet the coaches for the return journey. Walks invariably end at a pub for refreshments and socialising. The return times given are from the departure point, not the arrival in Newcastle. For safety reasons, walkers must stay with the organised ramble that they have chosen. Guidance Notes about walking with Tyneside Group can be found on our web pages.
Check the Tyneside Group website for more information and details of the walks each week. Each coach has its own page.
There is a variety of Social Activities and non-members are welcome.
