Come celebrate hill walking in Yorkshire next Monday with a walk exploring the ancient artefacts of Ilkley Moor followed by a talk from the creator of a spectacular long-distance route across the roof of the Yorkshire Dales. All are welcome (and there is a bar on standby...!)
The BMC Yorkshire Area is devoting a day to hill walking on Monday April 11. The day features two events - an afternoon walk delving into Yorkshire's deep past, and a talk from Chris Crogan, creator of the spectacular Dales High Way.
Afternoon walk: circles and swastikas
The walk will depart from the Wheatley Arms in Ben Rhydding at around 1pm and last about three hours.
We will explore the spectacular open expanse of Ilkley Moor and take in its fascinating archaeology, like the Twelve Apostles stone circle and the mysterious Swastika Stone.
As well as having a great afternoon, we hope that it will be a good opportunity for you to meet other like-minded people, and for us to learn from you how the BMC might better meet your hill walking needs.
The walk will be led by local BMC hill walking rep Paul Redding and be joined by the BMC's hill walking officer, Carey Davies.
For more information see the BMC Community Site.
Evening meeting: the Dales High Way
The meeting will include an open discussion on hill walking issues and future hill walking events, so come and let us know what you think are the key hill walking issues in the Yorkshire area, and how the BMC can become the natural home for hill walkers.
Our guest speaker is Chris Grogan, who in 2007 with her husband Tony devised
A Dales High Way, a 90 mile route across the glorious high country of the Yorkshire Dales. They have also authored a number of guides to long distance paths in Yorkshire and Cumbria.
There will also be a short quiz to win a tour around the workshop of the Yorkshire bootmakers
Altberg, and
Cotswold Outdoor will have a display of hill walking gear with staff on hand to answer any questions.
BMC members and non-members alike are welcome at both events.
Look forward to seeing you there!
