HYNDBURN GROUP WALK LEADERS



Hyndburn Group would not be the thriving group it is if it were not for these volunteers. As well as leading any number of people out on any given weekend (or weekday) the effort that is put into any particular route can be immense. From planning the route to reccying the paths and then leading on the day they will also probably be your first point of contact whenever you venture out with the Group.

Some of our leaders have been around for many years whilst others will be endeavouring to lead for the first time. Either way they need your support. Please do remember to thank them if you join one of their walks as without them you'd be reduced to walking alone - or even at all!

Below is a rogues gallery of just some of Hyndburn Groups current Walk Leaders.


Phil Bedson

Current Webmaster and Walk Programme Co-Ordinator Phil has been walking with the Group since the early 1990's. Led his first walk in 1995 and has been involved with the Group since. Currently leads walks averaging 10-12 miles at a steady pace.

David Hill

A leader since 1996 David has a wide range of walks logged in his head. Loves hill-walking but doesn't care much for canal towpaths! Renowned for his Christmas Mince Pie Walk. Averages 10-12 miles at a steady pace.

Pauline Hughes

Pauline is a relative newcomer to the art of leading but after 5 years is starting to seem like a veteran! Her walks are always a pleasure and generally include a specific destination such as, in recent years, The Atom and The Halo. Again, averages 10-12 miles at a steady pace.

Robert Eccles

In only his second year of leading for Hyndburn Group, Robert is proving to be more than capable of leading good walks. Meticulously planned his walks average 12 miles at a steady pace.

Trevor Whittaker

Current Chairman of the Hyndburn Group and prolific walker. Has great knowledge of walking throughout the area and is known for his dry wit and humour. Generally does around 10-12 miles at a steady pace.

Nigel Brooke

Although he has been an active member of the Group for many years, this is the first year of leading for Nigel. With a couple of walks on the 2010 programme averaging 8 miles they will probably be at a more relaxed pace.

Gail Bedson

Hyndburn Group's new Publicity & Promotion Officer is now in her second year of leading. According to Gail she "only does flat hills" and generally covers around 8 miles at a relaxed pace.

Sue Baxendale

Another long time member of the Group and has been a regular leader since 2004. Equally at home doing any type of walk but tends to do around 9 miles at a relaxed to steady pace.

Sheila Taylor

Sheila has led for the group since 2003. Has gained a reputation for good walks in all areas and is renowned for her January walk complete with Christmas cake. Covers 10-12 miles at a steady pace.
