During the month of December, the rambling club had three successful A-walks.
On December 2nd, Jane Thompson (pictured below) led a walk from the car park on Gerrick Lane over the North York Moors to Slapewath.
During the day's trek, we visited Robin Hood's Butts, Clitherbeck Farm, Oakly Side, Danby Castle, Ainthorpe Rigg, Castleton, Box Hall, Moorside, Sand Hill, Brown Hill, Stanghow Moor and Aysdale Gate. After the walk members of the Club congregated in the carvery restaurant at the Fox and Hounds hostelry for an evening meal.

On Sunday, December 9th, Peter Cull (pictured below), led a very pleasant circular walk from Hart Village.
Our route took us east to Hart Station and then north along the Durham Coast Path to
Blackhall Colliery and Castle Eden Dene. After walking part of the way through Castle Eden Dene Nature Reserve, we returned to Hart via Heselden, Low Heselden Farm, Sheraton Farm and Butts Lane.

Unfortunately, I was only able to get out on two A-walks in November - so I can only comment on those that I managed to attend.
On Sunday, 11th November, Jeff Hunt (pictured below) led a superb walk across the North York Moors. His route took us from Chop Gate to Ingleby Cross.
During the walk we visited High Crookleigh Farm, Fangdale Beck, Low Thwaites, Lane House, Far House, Lower Locker Farm, Dale Head, Oak Dale, Osmotherley and Arncliffe Wood.

Unfortunately, Jane Thompson's circular walk from Osmotherley on Sunday 27th November had to be cancelled because there were not enough fare-paying walkers on the coach. Only about 12 people turned out as a result of the extremely inclement weather conditions - heavy rain and wind.
