Activities
Hiking - there has to be a pub
A great excuse to get together every month for a walk and a catch-up in the Derbyshire hills generally around 10-12km followed by a nice pint and some late lunch at a traditional country pub. Occasional away days and even weekends further afield are also in the programme.
Biking
A group ride on the trails with the MTBs some of which are ebikes takes us to local forests in Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Staffordshire.
Gravel bikes on the old railaway lines and canal towpaths also an option
And of course several VY members just love the quiet roads of Derbyshire and those hills.
Photography
Some have fancy mirrorless cameras, others the latest iphone. Either way spending a few hours with your mates capturing those landscapes is what is is all about. And then there is the post processing chat!
F.A.Q.
What is all this Vintge Youth about anyway?
If you are retired or have a day to spare in the week and want to make the most of every minute with like-minded enthusiasts, this is for you.
Once you are invited to the group you can join the Whatsapp group where anyone can propose a walk or activity and the plan will be hatched from there. Generally one event a month.
The walks are generally easy to moderate with some hills but no scrambles or steep decents/edges.
The biking again moderate fitness is required but it’s tailored to the group.
Hiking seems to be the common denominator which we all take part in but any other activity is worth suggesting as most of us have several hobbies and inrests and it’s always worth sharing experiences.
