Sunday 1st December 2024 - Hathersage Christmas Walk Today’s walk began at Fox House on a very wet and blustery morning, but that didn’t deter 15 determined walkers (bless them) from setting off.

Sunday 7th April 2024 - Spofforth. The ride to Wetherby was looking quite miserable with rain coming down onto the coach’s windscreen. The walk was looking more like last months but by the time we got to the starting point in the village of Spofforth the sun was out but a very blustery wind.
