We Are Close to Home

Sweethope Loughs to Bellingham- 22 July 2023 Since April we have done quite a few long-distance journeys to get to the start of our routes but this time we are close to home on the western edge of Northumberland. If you take a look at a map of Northumberland, Bellingham is not quite on the western edge of the county with…
A Change to the Programme
Yorkshire Dales

A Change to the Programme

Ribblehead to Hawes - 8 July 2023 A change to the programme for this Saturday's walks. The main reason is that it has become difficult to find a place for the coach to park in the original finishing place of Horton in Ribblesdale. The last time we were walking in this area was in 2013 when we finished in Horton…

It’s Not Garrigill it’s Langdon Beck

Garrigill to Dufton - 24 June 2023 Although this is on the programme as Garrigill to Dufton the start for at least one of the routes is Langdon Beck.

North Yorkshire Moors

First Visit to Swainby

Great Broughton to Swainby - 27 May 2023 This is our first visit to Swainby since 2002 we were also there in 1998 as well but as that was in the last century it maybe doesn't count. Both occasions were so long ago the original walk sheets that describe the routes have disappeared so the three routes on the programme…

Interesting Rocks

Ripon to Pateley Bridge - 13 May 2023 The last time we finished in Pateley Bridge was in 2019 and the best part of the three routes was that they all walked past the interesting rocks. Not just any rocks but really interesting rocks. The rocks are actually called Brigham Rocks which were formed some 300 million years ago and…
