Socials and Weekends Away (Click here for socials archive)
As the weekends away and meals out are always oversubscribed and tend to fill up almost as soon as they hit the website, we have to restrict them to current members of SWG40s. However, everyone is welcome on a pub night out, especially if you are new to the group or you are thinking about joining us.
Before booking onto a weekend, please read the weekends away booking information on the FAQ Page.

FRIDAY
Northern viaduct round. 5 miles with Mandy

An easyish circular route of some of the viaducts, Merrygill and Podgill. Onto to Nateby walking on fields and tracks to Devils grinding mill and Stenkrith Park. The last part is along Lady Annes highway back into town.
Have your lunch before the start of the walk.
SATURDAY
The Nine Standards Rigg Walk 10.5 miles with Mandy
START Kirby Stephen market square (across form the Pennine Hotel) at 10.00am
One of the most popular activities for visitors to Kirkby Stephen is the walk to the Nine Standards Rigg. This notable landmark consists of a line of nine ancient cairns standing on the moorland ridge above the town.
This route is a steady up hill climb to the Nine Standards at around 1800 ft and part of the Coast to Coast route. Once at the top it's pretty much all down hill.
Some sections of the walk should be a clear path and other sections probably much less walked on.
There could be some boggy areas and you may wish to bring gaiters.
SUNDAY
High Cup Nick walk from Dufton 8.5 miles with Jean
START Dufton Public Car park with toilets. POSTCODE CA16 6DB at 9.45am (30mins drive away)
Once at the car park, we will arrange cars as some will drive 3 miles to Murton for us to start the walk.
It's another hilly start with 1500ft ascent to see great views across the moor and the spectacular glaciated U shape valley of high cup gill. We return down to Dufton along the pennine way, a rocky path. Drinks at the village pub.
People will drop off the others at Murton on the way back
