May Walk 2021

Hi All

WELCOME HUBBERTON HIKERS TO OUR FIRST HIKE IN 25 MONTHS!!

The start-up hike on Saturday 22nd May will start from Ingfield Farm Shop Southowram. The walk will be circular and between 6 and 7 miles.

Will Hikers please note the start time for this hike will be 10AM. This is a one-off start time. The reason behind this is to enable everyone to have tea, cake and a pork pie/sandwich when the walk is completed, (If you don't wish to bring a sandwich, allowing you more time to get to the start).

I anticipate we will finish the hike around 13.53 which will allow us a good hour or so to relax, enjoy the sunshine and have a reyt good natter

Address: Law Farm, Law Ln, Southowram, Halifax HX3 9UG

Happy Hiking (AGAIN) 2021

June Walk 2021

The walk will start from Slaithwaite which is in the “AA 50 Walks in West Yorkshire” Book, Walk No 38 “Along the Colne Valley” The walk is 7 miles so not too long.

Meet in the New Street free car park opposite the Doctors surgery HD7 5AG in Slaithwaite for an 11am START. The car park has 49 spaces and the road side nearby is also OK for free parking (although we don't know how busy it is on Saturday mornings).

Take the A62 out of Huddersfield towards Oldham.

The walk goes out of Slaithwaite on the hillside towards Marsden and out onto the moor a little then drops down into Marsden and the last 3 miles are coming back to Slaithwaite on the Huddersfield Narrow canal towpath.
