Walk diary
We've got some space in the diary for some more walks, so we're looking for volunteers to lead walks on:
- Saturday 3 or Sunday 4 April
- Saturday 17 or Sunday 18 April
- Saturday 15 or Sunday 16 May
- and other dates further ahead…
Sunday 14 March 2010: Sutton Bank
- Distance
- 9 miles
- Difficulty
- Moderate
- Start
- 10.30am at Sutton Bank
- Leader
- Neil
This is a joint walk with Take a Hike, from Sutton Bank past the White Horse to Gormire Lake. It's a similar route to our first walk of the year, but we hope the snow will have melted and the spring colours started to come through, giving it an altogether different feel.
Saturday 20 March 2010: Buckden
- Distance
- 7½ miles
- Difficulty
- Easy
- Start
- 11.00am at Buckden
- Leader
- Jane-Marie
After an initial steep climb along a stony track (Roman road), a grassy track leads across Buckden Rake before a path leads steeply down to Cray where we will cross some stepping stones. From Cray a flat path leads across limestone terrain with superb views of Wharfdale all the way to Yockenthwaite. We will then follow a riverside path across meadowland to Hubberholme, then on to Buckden where we will visit the Buck Inn for drinks.
Sunday 28 March 2010: Cleveland Way (Part 1) - Helmsley to Sutton Bank
- Distance
- 10 miles
- Difficulty
- Moderate
- Start
- 9.30am at Sutton Bank / 10.30am at Helmsley
- Leader
- Emma
A relatively gentle introduction to the Cleveland Way, this initial stage follows the beginning of the 108 mile route from Helmsley to the visitor centre at Sutton Bank, with a small detour to the White Horse. We follow the tried and tested Christmas Carol route towards Rievaulx, turning off over the bridge before reaching the abbey. We head through the village of Cold Kirby, and pass the Hambleton Inn before arriving back to the tea rooms at Sutton Bank visitor centre. The route is mostly good paths and some road, but there is a possibility some of it may be waterlogged and there will be mud!
