2 September 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:

via Nick Of Pendle 8 miles Easy/Moderate - This walk will
now be from the 0826
Leeds to Skipton train
