Festive walk: Leavening - 27th December 2009
A short walk near Leavening helped to relieve a few of those festive pounds, and was enjoyed by ten brave enough to face the snow and cold.

Black Hambleton - Sunday 13th December
Eighteen souls plus one dog met in the tiny village of Nether Silton for an eight mile circular walk. Having seen sun, rain and a rainbow enroute to the village, none of us was quite sure what to expect.
This walk was in the Hambleton Hills on the far western edge of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park. The main feature of the walk was the heather moorland typical of the park as Black Hambleton is a blanket of heather.
There were brief but lovely views from the summit of Black Hambleton which were otherwise cloaked in low cloud, and we followed the Cleveland way for a while before descending back down in to the valley and back to Nether Silton.
Definitely one to revisit in better weather to enjoy the expansive heather and views.
