Next walk: Glimpses of Coneysthrope
The March walk is fast approaching - so here are the details - hope to see you on Sunday:
Location: Coneysthrope (meet at the entrance to the cross roads car park)
Date: Sunday 13 March
Time: 11am start (or 10am at Bannatynes gym - please let me know if anyone is seeking to lift share from the gym, so that I may put you in touch with each other)
Distance: 7-8 miles
Level of difficulty: Easy
Walk leader: Ali Ward
Glimpses of Castle Howard and it is 7 and a half miles, starting from Coneysthorpe crossroads car park. The walk goes west through woods, up onto the ridge, along the top.and then down to Coneysthorpe and back to where we started.
It should be lovely if the bluebells are out, or will it be a bit early?
It also might be rather wet on top, unless we have a prolonged dry spell - we can live in hope!
There's the cafe at Castle Howard(and toilets!!) for a post walk drink.
