Six of us enjoyed a lovely walk from Bardsey on a hot sunny day. The walk took us through woods where the trees seemed to be acting as storage heaters! Unusually it felt hotter in the woods than when we were crossing open countryside where at least there was a breeze.
 
There were lots of lovely views and it was a trip down memory lane for (new) Diane who grew up in Bardsey.
 
We had lunch in a shady spot under some trees in Thorner Churchyard with good views of the village.
 
Thank you Carole, Chris, Diane x 2 and Gwenda for your company on the walk."

We had a lovely walk today around Kirkburton with some 13 of our ladies plus a new lady. The walk was reduced because of the heat but the views more than compensated and woodlands offered us welcome shade as well as a cool lunch spot .

One eagle eye spotted some orchids which made our day . Afterwards we went on to Dearne Lea for Ice-creams. Perfect - Bron wyn

Just Gwenda and I for the pool walk 16th June. Yes it was too hot! So we did cut it short to 7.5 miles for safety's sake. We saw two deer so well worth the journey.

20 walkers gathered beneath the beacon in Little Smeaton anticipating the festivities celebrating the platinum jubilee of Queen' s  reign. This led to a lovely walk through the Went valley and Brockadale returning to The Shouder of Mutton before the downpour. - Joan

Sat 28th May - Kinder Scout

Three of us set off to do Kinder Scout.
​

Lovely walk along the valley following the first part of the Pennine Way, a good climb up "Jacobs Ladder" to Kinder Low trig pillar, walking along the escarpment to the Kinder Downfall. Then the fun began!!!!!!!! the blurb says - 'area is almost featureless and one can become easily disorientated, be sure of your navigation skills'.  Yep, the compass came out as we followed what we felt to be a path, but but soon ended and in a direction of South East, we bog hopped our way to 'Crowden Tower' and what felt like civilisation as once again the path - a proper path and area was busyish.

The 9ish miles turned out to be 10, but my companions were very forgiving. Not sure I'd have walked across the Kinder Moor part on a bad day. However on Saturday the views going up and going down were fabulous,

Once again the weather was kind to us. Only a few rain spots whilst having lunch. The walk had a few ups and downs but great views.

​We had a steady climb from Clayton West through the grounds of Bagden Hall up to the top  end of Deffer Woods. Finished by walking back up to Skelmanthorpe through woodland and by a little stream where I took the photo. A good day! - Stephanie
