The UK annual holiday takes place in June.
Members travel by coach and accommodation will be half or full
board in a hotel. The locations are varied and reflect the desire
to provide a balance for all the different levels of walking in the
group. The club tries to put on walks to suit easier, medium and
harder levels, but it is optional whether a member joins a led walk
or chooses to do their own thing.
The holidays are good value. The
price depends on the location and what the club has been able to
negotiate. In recent years the cost has ranged between £350 and
£600 for half or full board including transport. The coach is
available during the week to transport members to and from the
walks.
There is a great atmosphere and members often
arrange their own social activities during the week.
In recent years the club has been to the Isle of
Man, Donegal in Ireland, Callandar in Scotland, Criccieth in North
Wales.
Abroad Annual Holiday. We now offer a walking holiday in
Europe in September/ October.
Members often get together to organise their own
trips in smaller groups. In recent times there have been holidays
in the Dolomites, Tenerife and Malta.
Bradford Walking is the name we use for our group on the
internet. We are an established walking group also known as
Bradford CHA and we celebrated our centenary in
2003.
We were initially part of the larger CHA (Countrywide
Holidays Association) which was created to provide opportunities
for working people to enjoy the countryside and walking. Bradford
CHA has been a very successful organisation providing walking and
social opportunities for people from all walks of life for over 100
years.
We still try and push the boundaries in what we offer in
the way of walking, so that those who are fit and able can still
undertake some very challenging walks, often in areas where there
are no paths and sometimes involving some scrambling. But we cater
for all walkers. If you want a good day out on Sunday you can join
our B walks which are moderate in difficulty and we often offer C
walks which are more leisurely and shorter.
The club has a hard working committee dedicated to
keeping things running smoothly by organising the walking
programme, transport, holidays, social events, finance and
advertising. A newsletter is published every quarter. This has
articles and information about forthcoming events,
holidays
We offer walks for all abilities and interests on Saturdays and Sundays. Our members live in Bradford, the Airevalley and all surrounding areas.
