FORTHCOMING WALKS AND EVENTS

Saturday 27th April 2024 - 9.00am

Glovershaw and Sconce Lane

We meet at 9 o'clock at Pennythorn Hill car park (free parking).

This is situated on the road between Eldwick and Baildon at the highest point on the road. The walk is likely to be muddy as horses regularly use the same paths. We should come across recently arrived migrants plus other moorland birds. The walk finishes at noon and does include some gentle hill walking. Walking boots are essential.

Saturday 1st June 2024 - 9.00am

Stainburn Plantation

We meet at the car park at Stainburn Plantation.

YOU NOW HAVE TO PAY FOR PARKING USING THE METERS. PAYMENT IS PROBABLY BY BANK CARD AND NOT CASH.

Directions - From Otley take B6451 which takes you through Farnley and past Lindley Wood Reservoir. After a couple of miles look for a right hand turn sign posted to Beckwithshaw. This takes you over Sandwith Moor with the road very straight. As you approach a left hand bend, there is a car park next to woodland. This is Stainburn Plantation and we meet there at 9 0'clock.

Our walk goes past Scargill Reservoir, then through woodland until we reach John O'Gaunts Reservoir. We circle the water and walk back the same route. The walk should finish no later than noon.

Walking boots are recommended on all walks along with appropriate clothing for that day's weather.

Please contact Shaun Radcliffe to let him know you will be comming on a walk. We may also be able to offer assistance with transport. (01274 770960 or shaun.radcliffe@btinternet.com)
