Thur 21 Apr - Netherton Circular

Lovely walk from Netherton, Carole demonstrated the bespoke boot store at Earnshaws.

The weather was so lovely for us. We stopped at Earnshaw's for a comfort break and saw Ann Kaye there! We chatted to the owners and told them how we liked the woodland trail for the children with lots to see and explore. Had lunch with a view at Denby Grange cricket field. Walked back through Coxley to the Star Inn where we enjoyed drinks in the beer garden again with lovely views. A very enjoyable day.

Thur 14th April - Goldenacre Park to Harewood

​Finally I could make a Thursday walk (School Easter Holiday's). On hearing that our leader had Covid, I offered to take over the leading rather than cancel the walk.  5 of us set off from Golden Acre Park in our coats, that soon got taken off as the day just got warmer and warmer.

Following the book we walked along the Leeds Country Way for a bit, then in a different direction, then back on the Leeds Country way until we got to Emmerdale. Our new member Ann ( third walk today) was the only one who watched Emmerdale, so recognised a house of someone!

​After that we followed the Ebor way. A route that I wasn't sure if I had done before until I recognised a "wee stop" and two lunch stops!!

Our lunch stop was with a lovely view of the valley and we were all quite close to having a siesta.

The walk was finished with a lovely cup of tea/coffee/can of coke in the café.   Ann was very pleased with the 9 miles - with no "ish" or any Swifty bonuses as this was the longest she had ever walked.
​

Hope you feel better soon Caroline.  - Chris

Mon 4th April - St Aiden’s area

Four ladies joined me for an easy, gentle, 9ish miles stroll from St Aiden's. The 9ish was mentioned as we ended the walk as it was closer to 10. We followed "The Lines" for a bit, then the "Leeds Country Way" brought us to the diagonal opposite end of St Aiden's from the car. 
​
Only three ladies came back with me as one had fancied the short cut back to St Aiden's that I had offered.  - Chris

Thur 10th Mar - Fairburn Ings Circular

19 ladies enjoyed a lovely walk from the RSPB reserve at Fairburn Ings to Ledston and Ledsham.  Passing crowds of golden daffodils and clusters of snowdrops, a fallow deer and several birds.
Picture
We had lunch in the sun in the grounds of All Saints Parish Church at Ledsham, where we saw our first primroses.

As the church was unlocked we took the opportunity to explore the interior, appreciating the stained glass windows and embro
idery that was on display as well as learning about Lady Elizabeth Hastings who was a major benefactor of the area.

Thanks for a lovely walk Joan.

Margaret Scott led 5 of us up and over every hill from Farnley Tyas to Castle Hill and back again. But the weather was lovely and the company brilliant, so there was no moaning.

Sun 16th Jan - Hebden Bridge, Stoodley Pike circular

29/1/2022

0 Comments

 
Four ladies and myself met at Hebden Bridge and did a six mile circular up to Studley Pike.
Four of us climbed up into the Pike and would have enjoyed the views if the weather had been better on the top.
Picture
Lunch was early as we took advantage of the shelter we gained from the Pike. Chris W had the correct headgear for climbing in the Pike , as at some point it is completely dark. With every walk with this group, there is some form of education and Rachel now knows the " extras" that get brought along to help wash down the Sunday lunch. - Chris
