Oadby Hillwalking Club

Walk Information

Our monthly walk takes place on the first Sunday of each month (we avoid Bank Holiday Sundays, so it may be the second Sunday on some occasions). In summer we aim for destinations such as the Welsh borders or the Dark Peak. Winter walks are closer to home – the White Peak or the Cotswolds. Our coach departs from Oadby East Street Car Park, LE2 5AF (near the side entrance of Oadby Trinity Methodist Church) at 08:00 hours and returns at approximately 19:30 hours, a bit later in the summer months. Note that we also make a small number of pick-ups between Oadby and Fosse Park for members. Coach fares (paid online, by card or cash/cheque) are: Adult members £18, Juniors/Students £10.

To book a place on the coach for the next walk, please contact ohwcmail@gmail.com. Monthly Walks for 2026 are listed above. The coach will depart from Oadby at 8:00am and return from the destination at 5:00pm during GMT and 5:30pm during the summer months.

Mid-Month Walks

Most months, except when a weekend trip takes place, there is a local walk of between 8 and 14 miles on a Sunday. Sometimes these finish in time for an optional pub lunch, or just a drink. Other times a packed lunch is taken. Last year one of these walks gave people the opportunity to try orienteering at the Outwoods Centre just north of Leicester. These walks are usually arranged one or two months in advance, with details publicised in the newsletter. The latest newsletters can be found on the News page.

Trips Away!

There are usually one or two trips a year to popular locations such as Snowdonia, the Yorkshire Three Peaks and the Lake District. Accommodation may be camping, hostels, huts or bed and breakfast with transport arranged between those taking part. These trips are advertised in the newsletter well in advance with details of accommodation options and costs. Some of these weekends offer the opportunity for more adventurous walking.
