Welcome to the 'Wild Bunch' Webpage

History:

Established in 2007 by Geoff Rennison and Debbie Bamford , two nurses who saw the benefits of reducing stress brought on through their work. They invited friends and colleagues at weekends which has built up to over 100 members to date and growing! 

What we have to offer:

Organised walks include all areas of the North of England and Scotland such as:

Wainwright's Coast to Coast

Cumbrian Way

Dales Way

James Herriot Way

Pennine Way

St Cuthbert's Way

West Highland Way

The logistics of the above walks has proven to be both difficult and expensive for the individual in the past. The most obvious being getting from the accommodation, in the morning, to the Start Point of a walk and then from the Finish Point returning to your accommodation, in the evening.

This is how we can help ....

Sample 

Typical Itinerary of the West Highland Way
Stage 1: Milngavie to Drymen 12 miles
Leaving your main luggage at Milngavie we shall take it to Drymen for you.

Stage 2: Drymen to Rowardennan 14 miles
Leaving your main luggage at Drymen we shall take it to Rowardennan for you.

• We may also take you to the Start Point, in the morning, and pick you up again at the Finish Point. returning you to your accommodation, in the evening.
• Provide an experienced guide on your walk.
• Emergency medical assistance.
• Route maps and other information.
• Great price reductions for members.

Reduced rates for FULL MEMBERS:

Because we are able to book facilities as a Group/Club we are able, in many cases, to enjoy reduced rates at corporate rates. Accommodation includes camp sites, B&B's, bunk barns, youth hostels and hotels.

Can I organise any walk or activity that I wish:

Once a FULL MEMBER, you simply ask us what you require and if we can help, then that's it.

If you just want to share accommodation with members or even car-share and then do your own thing, then remember, FULL MEMBERS have priority over NON-MEMBERS/GUESTS.

(Car-sharing is less damaging for the environment).
