Our four walks on Sunday, 21st July, each took place in the Swaledale area of North
Yorkshire. The A-Walk, B-Walk and C-Walk all started in Gunnerside while the additional D-Walk set off from
Reeth. All of the walks finished in Reeth. Following the walking activities members of the
Club enjoyed a meal in the Buck Hotel.
The A-Walk was led by Jane Thompson - pictured below. There were five walkers in
the group; the distance covered was 13.9 miles.
From our drop-off point in Gunnerside, we followed a westerly-going path that took
us to Ivelet, Calvert
Houses and Ramp Holme Farm. We had some
good views of the River Swale as we made our way in the direction of Muker - and on our subsequent northerly trek to Swinner Gill Lead Mines. We stopped here for a short
lunch-break and to take in the spectacular views.
From the lead mines we climbed up along East Grain in order to reach the
high ground near Lownathwaite. Still maintaining
our easterly bearing, we descended down to the ruins of the old mines at the
confluence of Blind Gill and Gunnerside Gill. Our next climb took us
up over the harsh, rocky terrain at Friarfold Hush
in order to reach the Old Gang Mines and Level House Bridge. At this point, we changed to a
south-easterly bearing and walked along a good track that took us to Surrender Bridge.
We stopped just after the old smelting mill (near Cringley Bottom) for a
short tea-stop and then continued our south-easterly trek. Following the route of
Barney Beck, we made our way to Thiernswood
Hall and Healaugh. After passing
through the village, we turned right and descended down to the northern bank of
the River Swale. From here we walked in an easterly direction in order to
reach our final destination in Reeth.
Many thanks to Jane for leading a splendid walk.

On Sunday, the 7th July, Stockton Rambling Club had three works in the Ribblesdale area of North
Yorkshire. All of the walks started in Horton-in-Ribblesdale and finished in
Settle.
The A-Walk was led by Peter Cull (pictured below). There were nine walkers in the
group. Peter's route covered a distance of 13.1 miles and included ascents of
Plover Hill and Pen-y-Ghent.
Following the route of the Pennine Way, we left Horton-in-Ribblesdale on a
north-easterly bearing - making our way towards Horton
Scar. We left the Pennine Way at {SD 823 742} and continued our
north-easterly trek over Horton Moor until we
reached a path junction at {SD 845 761} on Foxup
Moor. At this point we turned onto a south-easterly bearing and began
our ascent of Plover Hill (2222 feet). We stopped
on the top for a short lunch-break.
After an enjoyable lunch-stop, we made our way south in order to reach the summit
of Pen-y-Ghent (2264 feet). Because the visibility
was so good, we had some tremendous views from here.
Following our descent from the high ground, we continued our southerly trek
(following the route of the Pennine Way) until we reached Churn Milk Hole. Leaving the Pennine Way, we continued
south to Moor Head Lane {SD 8254 691} in order to join the route of the
Ribble Way. We followed this south to the small village of Stainforth - where we caught up with (and over-took) the
B-Group walkers.
We now made our way to the B6479 road and continued in a southerly direction to
find a path (on our left) that took us beneath Stainforth
Scar. This path eventually led us into the village of Langcliffe where we re-joined the B6479 road. At {SD 820
647} we took a minor road on our left and followed this to Castlebergh Plantation. At this point we turned onto a
westerly bearing and dropped down into the centre of Settle.

Cow Green Reservoir, the B-Walk commenced at Hanging
Shaw while the C-Walk set-off from Langdon
Beck. All walks finished in Middleton-in-Teesdale.
The A-Walk was led by Jane Thompson (pictured below). There were nine walkers in the
group. Jane's route took in a section of the Pennine Way, Ettersgill, Coldberry and
Hudes Hope. It covered a distance of 14.9 miles.
After leaving our drop-off location, we headed south to Cauldron
Snout where we joined the Pennine Way. We followed this in an
easterly direction in order to reach the minor road near Langdon
Beck Youth Hostel. From here we navigated a picturesque route to
Ettersgill, Ashdub,
Broadley's Gate and Moor
House.
From Moor House, we had a good climb over moorland terrain in order to reach the
high-ground between Lord's Allotment and Coldberry Grains. We had some
spectacular views from here - and during our descent into Hudes
Hope. There was lots of evidence of the old lead-mining activity to be seen here.
After crossing Hudeshope Beck, we had an easy 'downhill' trek, in a southerly
direction, following the route of the beck, to the end of the walk in Middleton-in-Teesdale.
