21 February 2020 - Train Walk Update for
Saturday 29 February
Due to challenging underfoot conditions encountered
on the "reccy", the route of the Gargrave Circular
easy train walk on this date has been changed and will now
go via Bank Newton and East Marton instead. All other details
for the walk remain as originally advertised.
17 February 2020
Minor changes to the rail timetable on some
lines apply from today. In particular the Leeds-Settle-Carlisle
train which is used for many of our Saturday walks will
now depart from Leeds at the slightly later time of 0919
and the Leeds-Bentham-Morecambe train will now depart from
Leeds at 0819.
25 January 2020
The leaders meeting and first
aid course for walkers will be held on Sunday 8 March 2020.
Further information and booking details can be found in
the Members Events
section.
