Sunday walk: York, Huntington and New Earswick - 12 January

Start: 10am Clifton Alliance Cricket Club car park,. Postcode: YO30 5RF

Directions to start: Turn off the A19 (Shipton Road) into Clifton Park Avenue as if you are going to the Dormouse pub. If you are coming from the city centre it is a left turn towards the Dormouse, right turn if you are approaching from the ring road. Go past the entrance drive to the Dormouse and take the first left - a rough road/track with a big Clifton Alliance Cricket Club sign. Take this road/track to the end where there is a car park behind the Clifton Alliance clubhouse. We have permission from the club to park there. Do not confuse Clifton Alliance CC with the neighbouring York CC at Clifton Park. The website www.cliftonalliancecc.co.uk also gives directions to the club by pressing the contact button on the home page.

Leader: Martin 07979 674701

Route: Clifton Ings, new footbridge over the Ouse, Bootham Park Hospital grounds, Wigginton Road/Haxby Road, picking up the Foss Walk by the river to Huntington, returning to York via New Easrwick, Bootham Stray and Clifton Backies. Although it is a walk within the York ring road it goes via a surprising number of gren spaces.
Distance: 7 to 8 miles. This will depend on the weather and ground conditions on the day.

Level of difficulty: Easy. Flat. When this walk was reckkied just before Christmas parts were very wet and muddy so be prepared! If it is too bad to walk across some of the fields there are alternative stretches on paved paths.

Refreshments: Dormouse pub

Toilets: Dormouse pub
