Fourteen souls plus three dogs joined us in the village of Whitwell on the Hill for a wonderful day's walking.
The sun was out and the sky was blue but it was not raining - oh no. We had wonderful June weather despite a forecast for someting more gloomy.
We started by making our way over fields heading towards Castle Howard and arriving in Welburn, having enjoyed some magnificent views of the estate and numerous follies.
We then turned right, crossed the A64 and arrived via a wooded slope down past the railway track into Kirkham, where lunch and ice creams were consumed in the shade of the priory ruins.
Upon leaving Kirkham, our first serious climb up a muddy slope was made all the more challengin having a stomach full of lunch washed down with tea or coffee. At the top we then headed towards Crambe before crossing the A64 again and finishing in Whitwell on the Hill.
Those with tough constitutions met up again in the evening for an Indian buffet near Poppleton - recommended.
Until next time.
