Welcome to the Chaps Week Away website.  Our goal is to spend a week away from our families to recharge our batteries, do some walking and have the odd beer or two.
This site is not intended for anyone not associated with the group so if you do not enjoy the sight of middle aged men behaving like schoolboys then please leave now.

About Unnecessary

One of us once said wives are 'Unnecessary' on a walking trip and the name stuck!

The Walks

We have been going on the walks since 1989 when sticks had not been invented, cameras had film and none of us had a mobile phone. Life was a lot simpler then.

Medical Notes

We still behave like schoolboys but some of us are beginning to show our age.

Technology

Participate in our regular community hiking events and build lasting friendships.Like all small boys we enjoy new technology.

Uses for a stick

In 1989 no one had a stick, now half the team carry them..... Why?

Caption competition

What on earth is Graham doing?

A couple on the side

Over the years a few of the boys have done a couple of extra walks, short strolls in the Himalayas and Peru 

A tribute to John who was the instigator of this website and a member of the Unnecessaries
