Hole of Horcum - Sunday 8th November











A record twenty-four people plus one dog arrived in Levisham for our walk to, through and around the Hole of Horcum.

The walk started via a muddy, sloping path to the south of the village, which wound its way towards the Hole of Horcum, an ancient hollow in the ground caused by the actions of a giant/large sheet of ice during the last ice age.

As we arrived at the abandoned farmers cottage the rain started. Lunch was had in the shelter of the cottage.

As we headed up and out of the Hole of Horcum, the rain stopped and blue skies came into view. Upon reaching the top of the slope, we turned left and along the edge of the Hole, back towards Levisham, arriving in good time for beer and chips from the Horseshoe pub.

Once again, a wonderful walk with great company.
