5 people attending
10 places left
This is a short circular walk setting off from and returning to Bingley. We’ll be following the canal for the first half of the walk before finding our way back through countryside. This is a broadly flat route, but we will be going up the impressive staircase of locks known as the Bingley Five Rise.
We’ll end the walk in Bingley with an option to get some food and drink afterwards.
Dogs: Well-behaved, socialised and under-control dogs are welcome on this event.
Dogs should be kept on a lead whenever this is signposted, whenever we are in the vicinity of livestock, and at the event leader's request.
If the event is fully booked: Please join the wait list as people frequently drop out during the week before an event and you are likely to get a place on the walk.

What to bring
Water: Bring a suitable amount of water, bring more if it’s a hot day.
Medicines: If you have hay fever, diabetes, minor ailments etc.
Rucksack: A small backpack or similar.
Footwear: Although this is a flat walk, sturdy walking shoes are recommended, as are proper walking socks as they'll keep your feet dry and prevent blisters. Sturdy trainers will also be fine.
Clothing: Dress for the weather, and if it’s cold or wet bring extra layers so you can adapt as we progress. Waterproofs are recommended for wet days, and if it’s wet try to avoid wearing jeans which will become heavy and cold.
Hat or cap: Hats will keep you warm and protect you from the wind. Essential in Winter.
Sunglasses: For any sunny day, even in winter.
Sun cream: Can be useful even on cloudy days.
Snacks: Bring snacks to keep you going through. As it’s a short walk we won’t be stopping for lunch but bring what you need.
