The first walk of the New Year saw the club above Settle on an eleven mile wander in the stunning Limestone area of Warrendale Knotts also more commonly known as Attermire.

The clubs Walking What’s app group had been busy the night before debating the horrendous forecast but six of us persevered and were rewarded with a dry if some what overcast day until half a mile before the end of the walk.

Chris and Anne knew of a good cake shop at the end so after a yummy blueberry and coconut cake followed by a large mug of tea we were happily recompensed for getting slightly damp.

Thanks to all for their company. As always an enjoyable day.

The next walk is Thursday 23rd January Rylstone to Grassington. Before the photo competition!!! So if you haven’t sent those pictures to John yet nows your opportunity.

if anyone’s interested, I’ve a little used 50cm walking axe to give away. Grivel Mont Blanch with wrist leash. Was my wife’s but she has difficulty walking on a pavement far less snow slopes these days. Also 2 Blackdiamond turbo ice screws up for grabs. Good condition £20 and they’re yours

Unfortunately the Stanage meet will have to be cancelled. The weather forecast is pretty atrocious so I don’t think that there is any chance of this going ahead.
