Crummackdale walk meet report

12th April 2019 by Andy Hudson Leave a Comment

Six of us had a cracking day on the first of the trial midweek meets. With a frosty start, followed by warm sunshine we had a very clear day and great views around the three peaks and south to Pendle.

The route is interesting, taking in an SSSI, with carpets of primroses, unspoilt limestone pavement on Moughton and the Norber erratics.After the walk, it was great to sit in the sun with tea and buns at Feizor.

Currently the next planned Thursday walk is Whernside on May 9.In the future midweek meets could include cycling and climbing as well and as the programme beds in, we will aim to avoid having things like two walking meets close together.If anyone else is interested in leading a mid week meet have a chat with Shirley

Giggleswick North 31st Mar Meet Report

5th April 2019 by Andy Barton Leave a Comment

Four of us had a chilly start at Woodcutters Buttress before both the temperature and we warmed up. We took a look the options of a Dodgy Brexit, Are You In and Are You Out and voted for ‘Are You In?’ (5b).
This was followed by Ben Hur (6a+*), Debbie Direct (6a+* ).

The Main Crag yielded Root Sixty Six (6a*) and A Block off the Old Chip (6a*).

As remainers we finished long after other parties had exited so are unclear about precisely what they achieved!

Feizor bike ride report

30th March 2019 by Andy Hudson Leave a Comment

Five of us met at Feizor in time for a bacon butty before setting off on the Feizor loop. The route heads up past Feizor wood, through Wharfe, heading along Crummock Lane up to our lunch stop at Sulber Gate. Weather was dry, calm and clear giving fab views over Moughton Scars. The return downhill route took us back down Long Lane, Thwaite Lane, skirting under Oxenber Wood and back to base … for more tea and cake. Thanks Andy, Martin, Hannah, Andy and pickles who kept us ( mostly) together on route! 😂

Andy on Sickle Direct

And who would have believed it was still only February and that T shirts would be the official attire as five of us, ranging from craggy old timers to young and enthusiastic first timers tackled a wide variety of routes which included, Skeleton Scoop(HVD *); Evening Star(S***); Priority Corner(S*); Sickle Direct(VS***); Fretsaw(HVD*); Priority(VS**) and more. Cracking day Grommet!

Horton Bike Ride Report

25th February 2019 by Andy Hudson 1 Comment

A merry group of 7 (Shirley, Fiona,  John W, Chris H, Paul F, Anthony and myself) met for this unseasonably warm bike ride from Horton. Our route took us on The Pennine Way out to Birkwith Moor through Cam Woodlands and a lovely descent to Beckermonds.

Alas what goes down eventually goes up and so it did after Oughtershaw with the ascent of Fleet Moss, Just prior to us beginning the ascent Chris H and his E bike were seen (for the last time by us as he continued on)  making light work of the ascent. The rest of us Just got on with the job in hand of the ascent and eventually made it to the top with a bit left in the tank and with me  realizing I either needed a) a new saddle or b) better padding in derriere region which at the time felt like 2 raw steaks, a comparison I suggest you don’t dwell on.

A slight descent towards Hawes and we turned off onto the Pennine Bridleway and found some shelter from the wind for lunch. Once refuelled we continued along the Pennine Bridleway and a delightful descent took us to Ling Gill and onto  High Birkwith before the last roller coaster minor road back to Horton. Thanks to Shirley and John for organising this meet.
