Latest News

  • Our last walk on Sunday 1st March was just under 11 miles and was a circular walk from Huggate via Wetwang and back to Huggate, led by Mike Drury. Once again we were lucky with the weather as although overcast the sun did make an appearance a couple of times and despite the recent rainfall, it wasn't too muddy. Another lovely day out was had by everyone.
  • Our next walk is on Easter Sunday 5th April, and is a 9.5 or 12 mile walk around Bronte Country. We start in Haworth and do a circular walk around Haworth via Top Withens. The afternnon section takes us to Ogden Water, where there is an option to do a 4 mile walk or a shorter 1.5 mile one. Booking is now open and closes on Wednesday 1st April.
  • Our AGM will be taking place on Thursday 26th March at The Blacksmith's Arms, Hook at 7pm. There will be a free buffet and a talk by Stephen Walker of Goole Civic Society. This is an important a chance for members to have a say in the running of the club. Please let us know if you will be attending for catering purposes. This can be done via the TicketSource link, by email or phone.
