Tune into Spring

Just a quick message to share some information from Tim Birch about the bird‑song walks he’s now offering. Tim will be leading his first session in Ecclesall Woods on Saturday 18 April, running from8:00 to 9:30am. It’s a gentle, welcoming introduction to tuning in to the sounds of our local birdlife.

Tim’s wider mission is to help more people reconnect with nature through the simple joy of birdsong. He’s also very open to running walks in other parts of Sheffield, and he’s particularly keen to support activities that help younger people build a stronger relationship with the natural world. If cost is an issue for any group or organisation, he’s more than happy to discuss reduced or no‑fee options.

If you’d like to arrange a walk, explore possibilities for your area, or just find out more, Tim’s contact details. Email: birdsongwalks@gmail.com

The Walkie Talkies – Weekly Thursday Walks at 10:30am

Join the Walkie Talkies every Thursday morning at 10:30am for a lively and invigorating group walk. Routes alternate weekly between shorter strolls (4–6 miles) and longer treks (6–9 miles), offering something for every pace and preference.  The next walk, a 6 mile walk on 11th September, starts at Ashford in the Water car park behind the church.

Meeting points are planned ahead and shared on the group’s website. Each walk is led by one of their enthusiastic members, who volunteer to guide the way, with plenty of support from fellow walkers when needed.

Interested in giving it a go? All you need is a pair of sturdy hiking shoes, weather-appropriate clothing, a packed lunch, and a good dose of enthusiasm. While they value the health benefits of walking, they also cherish the social side, so a visit to a nearby pub is often on the cards to recharge and unwind.

For more information visit www.hcya.org.uk/walkie-talkies.
For further details please contact Dennis Dixon on 0114 2301398 or email at friends@hcya.org.uk
