Annual General Meeting Friday 14th February 2020 at 7.30pm

Festive Walk 2020 'A' Walk

Walk Leader: Peter Hitchcock
Distance: 5.5 miles

Happy New Year to you all.  My planned route turned out to be rubbish so we shall be walking a ‘mini variation-on-a-theme’ of last year’s walk, but I think even nicer.  We set out West from the Gilpin along a cycle track and then along the base of Whitbarrow Ridge for 20 mins before climbing gradually up to the western edge of the scar.  From here, given good weather, you will have brilliant photo-shoot opportunities of the mountains to the north, Arnside and Morecombe Bay to the south and Whernside and Ingleborough to the east; a great start to 2020.

From this vantage point, we traverse along the southern tip of the scar to eventually retrace our steps back down to the pub.  Surprisingly, at 5½ miles, we should be ready to change into our party togs within 2½ hours of departure.

Festive Walk 2020 'C' Walk

Walk Leader: Gwyn Jones
Walk Distance: 3.75 mls

Because we plan to take coffee before we start and then be back at the pub for our meal by 1.30pm we are taking a short walk.  I hope it’s long enough to give you an appetite. For those who came last year it is the same walk. It is mainly flat with one short gradual incline followed by a short descent. We walk mainly on tarmac.

Grassington

The small Market Town that feels like a Village

There's nothing quite like a Yorkshire Dales village! In Grassington we have everything that comes to mind when you imagine a typical village: stunning views, beautiful stone buildings, quirky shops and friendly pubs; however there is so much more to Grassington than meets the eye.

A haven for outdoor activities

Not by accident is Grassington one of Wharfedale's most popular villages and a convenient walking base for exploring Wharfedale and Nidderdale, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The area is a haven for outdoor pursuits including horse riding, fly fishing on the River Wharfe and of course moorland and riverside walking, while the nearby show caves of Stump Cross Caverns offer underground adventure.

There will be three walks:

• A Walk led by:- Brian Thorne
• B Walk led by:- Jennifer Mathias
• C Walk led by:- Pat Guy
