Hebden Bridge to Haworth          5th December 2021

It was an early start from Hebden Bridge as three groups headed up the infamous cobbled path from the centre of the town to the open Wadsworth -  Haworth moors.

The Oldhams had already left the coach many miles previously to start their 16 miles trail across Entwhistle Moor, Bouldswoth Hill and Little Wolf  Stones before descending cheerfully in to the town.

Stuart’s group followed the traditional route past Hardcastle Crags, Walshaw Dean reservoirs, Withins and down by Bronte Falls to Haworth.

Geoff and Mike’s group set off for Heptonstall to follow the river to Walshaw and approach the reservoirs from the Pennine Highway - around the back of the Round Hill.

Mike and Allan, and Mike and Pat followed similar routes up to Horse Bridge where they separated but finished together again near Leeshaw Reservoirs. They shared the mud at Thurrish Rough and both arrived in Haworth just in time to see the Scottish Pipers and the wedding.

Anne and Helen and Stef enjoyed a pleasant day exploring every corner of Howarth town.

Steve J spent the time roaming on the remote slopes above the reservoirs and returned to Haworth by Within Slack.

It was a day of imaginative routes across some very bleak moors.

GLENRIDDING via POOLEY BRIDGE 3rd MARCH 2024

                                                 What a wonderful day’s walking !         What spectacular scenery and conditions !   With reports that the Kirkstone Pass was blocked by snow the route was amended so that the coach entered the valley from the Pooley Bridge end. Some groups revised their planned walks but most were just delighted to see a good depth of snow on the fells above about 1500’ and had come prepared for it, Stuart’s group was first off the coach near Pooley Bridge to commence a 12 mile walk along the eastern side of the Lake - through Howtown, Sandwick and Silver Bay with panoramic views of the snow on Helvellyn and its close neighbours. Pat and Simon’s groups started from Watermillock to visit the popular local waterfalls and then followed the newly established lake side path to Glenridding. The Oldhams also alighted at Aira Force but they headed up to Dockray to follow the Dodds Ridge along to Raise and Stang and then down to Glenridding. The othe

SETTLE & CHRISTMAS MEAL 10th December 2023

  The weather forecast was for wind and rain – and we got both. But it didn’t stop the walks. Gerry’s group of seven left the coach at the small town of Hellifield and with his customary panache he traced a winding trail across the remote Newton and Langber Moors following fast flowing Becks and Gills to Scaleber Force. Always a dramatic waterfall but on this day it was spectacular. They continued over Sugar Loaf Hill to be confronted by the wonderful view of the Scar and Caves of Stockdale. At the Scaleber Falls they were joined briefly by Pat and Steph’s group who had followed a similar route from near Long Preston along Langber Lane beside the Mearbeck Plantations and down to Settle. Paul’s Group set off from Settle heading for Stockdale with the Caves in mind. They ascended High Hill and took the path along the escarpment visiting the dramatic Attermire, Victoria and Jubilee Caves. They crossed the river and returned to Settle by Stackhouse Lane. Stuart and Ele set off to f

GRASMERE 9th July 2023

                                   Grasmere Account 09.07.2023 It was a bit cloudy to start with but the forecast was good - and it turned out better than good ! The first parties left the coach at the Rugby Club. Paul’s group headed for Loughrigg Fell - with its spectacular views - then descended to the Terrace. They tracked round the very thin path above Megs Gill to ascend Swinescar, and crossed Blind Tarn Moss to Easedale and Grasmere. Ian and Gerry led their group straight up Helm Crag - getting steeper every year with John C managing the very summit of the Rock. Following the undulating ridge to Calf Crag gave them a hot long walk back down Far Easedale into Grasmere. The Oldhams – still on holiday with a reduced party - started at Kelsick (I had to look that one up! – near Skelghyll) and went up Wansfell, Baystones and the Kirkstone Struggle. From here they crossed to Rydal Park and made their tortuous way down to Grasmere. Mike’s group started from Ambleside with that steep Mil
