About Members Events
FDR has a history and culture of coach excursions, weekend
short breaks and occasional week long holidays. These date
back to when our organisation was founded in 1980 and the
DalesRail fully integrated town and bus service, operated
only on summer weekends once a month. To hold the membership
together and provide the opportunity for collective walking
as a group. Coach excursions were scheduled as once per month
events in winter and in the summer, once per month on a weekend
when DalesRail did not operate.
When the Settle/Carlisle line was finally reprieved from
closure in 1989 and a regular year round passenger service
was established, we saw no reason why activities which had
given so much pleasure to members and had transported them
to areas not accessible by train, should be suspended. The
programme of events was merely adjusted to avoid a clash of
activities. Regretfully, for administrative and logistical
purposes, these elements of our events have to be restricted
to members of the organisation.
The coach trips, which are held monthly on Sundays, cover
almost anywhere within a 2 hour coach trip of Leeds. We regularly
visit areas such as the North Pennines, the Lake District,
Derbyshire, Lancashire and the North York Moors & Coast.
Details of our current trips can be found in the Coach
Walks section.
The weekend and longer holiday trips use either hotel or
youth hostel accommodation and have previously included visits
to Scotland, Wales and Ireland. There will normally be three
grades of walk put on each day.
Other forthcoming trips and activities are listed below -
