13 September 2019 - Train Walk Changes
on Saturdays 21 September and 26 October
21 SEPTEMBER
The Gisburn to Hellifield
easy walk will now be from the 0819
Leeds to Morecambe train. This is due to a change
in the bus timetable out of Skipton.
26 OCTOBER
Northern Rail are operating an “alternative
timetable” on this date meaning that trains on both
the Settle/Carlisle and Morecambe lines will start from
and terminate at Skipton. Therefore a separate train will
need to be used between Leeds and Skipton in both directions.
Our two walks will go ahead as per their advertised
routes, except they will use earlier trains from Leeds.
The Chatburn Circular
moderate/strenuous walk will now be from
the 0754 Leeds to Skipton train.
The Settle Circular easy walk will
now be from the 0854 Leeds
to Skipton train, then
the 0959 Skipton to Settle train.
