A winter scene in the Dales. Looking towards Ingleborough from Sulber Nick. Climbs of Ingleborough start from Horton or Ribblehead. We run these walks throughout the year.

Wharton Hall in the valley visited on walks from Kirkby Stephen. A favourite venue for many easier walks.

2 April 2011 - 30th Anniversary Celebrations

 

The 30th anniversary of the first ever Friends of DalesRail walk was celebrated on Saturday 2 April with 79 people joining four walks from Settle and Long Preston. These converged at Hellifield for a buffet and social gathering at the Long Drag cafe on the station, which was attended by 69 people. A celebratory cake was provided to mark the occasion (baking by Les Crooke, photo above by Dave Sherbone) and we were joined by several founder members of the society. Our current chairperson Moya McNamara gave a short speech to mark the occasion and to look forward to the next 30 years.
