Walking Group Over 5 miles
About This Group
 | Walks locally over 5 miles and sometimes further afield in the Yorkshire Dales. | Meets 2nd and 4th Wednesday | Please Contact the convenor for more information | Wendy Bartholomew-EsdersWalking Group Convenor | |
We continue with our schedule of regular over 5 mile walks twice a month on a Wednesday . With walks of around 5 -7 miles on the 2nd Wednesday and 8 - 10 miles for the 4th Wednesday. Most walks start at 9.30am in the local area but will start later to allow for travel if we go a little further afield. We are a small group which uses WhatsApp to stay in touch and are keen to welcome new members whether you would like to join us just for the shorter walks or both, all are welcome.
NOVEMBER 2023 BOSTON SPA
 | For our November long walk on Wednesday 22nd, four of us enjoyed some good weather for the time of year on a bright and fine day for a 8.3 mile easy walk. We set off from Boston Spa up to Thorp Arch before heading to Wetherby along the old railway line and the Harland Way before heading back via Wetherby Ings and good woodland and roadside footpaths. |
DECEMBER 2023 TOWTON
 | For our short walk in December we set off for Saxton across the muddy fields from the Crooked Billet. As expected we were not disappointed to find that by the time we emerged in Saxton we had to find every available wooden post to try and lighten our boots of the mud! Needless to say that there was a unanimous decision to avoid the field on the way back. We seem to have hit the sweet spot with the weather and whilst a little cold, the rain stayed away for our meander around the Towton battlefield walk. |
