The Bill & Mrs M. Club 2025
All About our Club
Our Bill & Mrs M Club is more than just a Membership or a walking club. It's about being part of a like-minded community who love walking, being with dogs and getting together to do just that, whilst enjoying the landscapes of the beautiful Yorkshire Wolds.
We now have over 100 people who form our Membership and enjoy all the social elements, in addition to feeling physically and mentally better from Walking in the Wolds together.
All of the walks that we either do together or suggest as self guided routes, are suitable for people with most levels of mobility and fitness. We walk together at the slowest pace of the group, stop for frequent breaks and include shorter versions of our group walks where possible, so that people can be comfortable about joining us if they feel less able. And, if you are in any doubt, you can always contact me to ask questions and find out if the walk will be suitable for you and your dog.
AND JUST IN CASE YOU WERE WONDERING - You don't have to have a dog to join us, (we have lots of members who don't), you just have to like dogs and then you can just enjoy walking with us and all the other benefits.
Your Welcome Box - sent when you join
Your New Members welcome box comes with:
- Your club membership card to flash when you need to get your special discounts with our Bill Loves Partners.

- Some extra treats courtesy of our friends at The Mile.

Plus if you join as Joint Members your extra large box also contains:

Walking Events

Newsletters, Blogs, Birthdays & More
Our guided walking events are pre-bookable for named Members and one dog (extra dogs on request per event if you don't want others to miss out) to ensure that everyone gets the best walking experience. Numbers are restricted on each walk and Members get the first chance to book onto an event before they are released to the general public.
You can chose which free walks you would like to do from our annual programme (6 or 12 walks depending on your membership) plus buy tickets for extra walks at the discounted rate of £7.00 per walk or £12 for two people on the joint membership package. Members can also bring along a guest(s) charged at the reduced rate of £7.00 on each walk. (Non-Member rate £12)
Additional charges are made for refreshments & extras on event tickets where applicable (or you can opt out of having these).
All dogs must be fully socialised and happy to walk on lead (when required) or off lead (if wanted). We send you information on being a responsible dog owner for walks in the countryside for guidance, when you join.

As a Member you will receive a bi-monthly e-newsletter sent directly to your inbox, containing all our latest news, offers and more.
This includes sections on local history, new and additional self-guided walks, extra offers from some of our Bill Loves Partners, upcoming events and lots of other news to enjoy.
Our Member's Blogs include previously untold stories about Bill just in case you wanted to know more about his antics over the years.
You can also let us know about when it's your or your dog's birthday so that we can give a shout out on our social media posts and in our newsletter - send us a photo of your dog and we can include that too.
You can even sign-up to volunteer to help on any of our walks and enjoy them as extra free ones (to those in your Membership). If you are Joint Members, but only one of you wants to volunteer, don't worry as both of you still get the walk as an extra 'free walk'. As part of this you might also like to come along on our test walks to help design our risk-assessments.
We take 2 Volunteers with us on each walk.

"At the beginning of the year my husband and I wanted to start walking in the countryside to improve our health and wellbeing. When we first met 40 years ago we loved hiking but over the years haven’t got out walking. The Bill and Mrs M Walking the Wolds has brought this love back into our lives. I know we wouldn’t have achieved this without Walking the Wolds." - Tricia
