Walking Group
Short walks (up to 4 miles) take place on the second and fourth Fridays of each month, and are usually led by Bryn and Jackie. If you plan to go, it is advisable to phone Bryn or Jackie (or whoever is leading) between 9 - 9.30 a.m. on the day of the walk, to confirm that there are no changes of venue and to make sure that the group waits for you, if you get delayed. Shared transport can usually be arranged between group members. Short walks start at 10.30 a.m. promptly, are usually 'circular', and often finish up near a pub or café where lunch can be taken if you wish to join us. Please phone the leader between 9 a.m. and 9.30 a.m. on the day of the walk, to make sure it has not been cancelled because of bad weather, and so that we wait for you if you are delayed.
Long walks (usually 7-10 miles) take place on the first Friday of each month. Generally the final decision of where we'll go is made a day or two before (to take account of weather conditions) so please telephone one of the walk leaders to get details. We usually take a packed lunch and hot/cold drinks so that we can stop at a convenient point for a break. And if you are one of our walkers and would be willing to lead a walk, we are always on the lookout for volunteers! The March Walk will be on Friday 5th March. We will meet near Hawnby Church (GR 537897); this is on the road which passes round the Southern and Western sides of the village. There is limited parking at the church, and a few more places ca. 50 yds. to the south. We will be starting at 10am, weather, floods etc. permitting. The route passes Hill End House, then west to Arden Hall (may be our coffee stop), via Arden Bank, then south to the top of Gower Dale (a possible venue for lunch). Turning east via Dale Town, we will join the road and return north to Hawnby.
Here are some of the long walkers in Scugdale in December 2009.
