Latest News

  • Our last walk was on Easter Sunday 5th April and took us to Bronte Country. We started from Haworth and climbed up to Top Withens. We had every sort of weather; hail, torrential rain, sunshine and wind with the end of Storm Dave. The afternoon walk took us around Ogden Water. It was a great day despite the weather an the cobwebs were well and truely bown away.
  • Our next walk is on Sunday 3rd May and is a walk of 8.5 miles to High Bradfield. This walk was first done in 2016 and it has passed into club legend due deep snow, meaning that it had to be cutailed at the pub! Everyone who was on it says that it was their favourtie walk ever. We are not anticpating snow in May but it does promise to be another great walk. Booking is open now and closes on Wednesday 29th April.
  • Our AGM took place on Thursday 26th March. It was well attended and a new committee was elected. Stephen Walker from Goole Civic Society gave an interesting talk about the origin of Goole after a buffet had been enjoyed by all.
