15 July 2018 - Train Walk
Update for Saturday 21 July
The proposed rail strike has now been cancelled,
therefore both our walks on this date will now go ahead
as originally advertised - a strenuous Settle to Carlilse
line walk from Settle to Ribblehead and the easy Wharfedale
line walk from Burley in Wharfedale to Ilkley. Please see
the Train Walks page for
full details.
15 July 2018 - Further changes
to times of train walks (updated item)
Further changes to the times
of some walks have been made and were too late to be included
in the new Guided Walks leafet (gold coloured) covering
the period June to December 2018, which is now available
from the usual outlets. These alterations have been made
due to late changes to some train times and connecting buses.
The following walks are affected:
11 AUGUST - Whalley Circular
via Great Harwood 7 miles Easy - This walk will now be from
the 0826 Leeds to Skipton train
18 AUGUST - Greenfield Horseshoe
(Huddersfield line) 14 miles Strenuous - This walk will
now be from the 0853
Leeds to Manchester Piccadilly train
29 SEPTEMBER - Whalley to Clitheroe
via Nick Of Pendle 8 miles Easy/Moderate - This walk will
now be from the 0826
Leeds to Skipton train
22 DECEMBER - Gisburn to Hellifield

May 2018 - Changes to times of train walks from 26 May 2018
(updated item)
Following the introduction
of the new rail timetables on 20 May 2018, the train times
for most of our walks have now been changed and are different
to the ones printed in the December 2017 to June 2018 (lilac
coloured) Guided Walks leaflet. The majority of walks will
be from the 0919 Leeds to Carlisle train, but some walks
will be from other trains, so please read the information
in our Train Walks section
carefully, which has now been updated with the revised details.
Full details of our guided
walks for the public from July through to the end of the
year have now been added to the Train
Walks section and a new Guided Walks leaflet will
be available in due course.
