SpectatorOK so I will pick up Rhianna and Linda.
Have guests this morning will finalise details later today
ANDREWSpectatorHello everyone (hic !)
I’ve just found a moment between getting back home and nipping out tonight for Berwick Kaler’s Last Stand at the Theatre Royal. The forecast for Saturday is quite windy and cloudy, with occasional glimpses of weak sunshine. So we will not be missing anything by not going up Simon’s Seat, and Steve Murrays alternative now seems a nicer option !!It will take about 1 hr 15 mins to reach the aforesaid layby from Heworth (1 hour from Poppleton) so if there are pick-up’s involved I’ll plan on a start at 8.50 to arrive 10.15 ish at the layby near Stump Cross. I have 3 seats available, or 4 at a push — although I am also happy to be a passenger if anyone else would like to drive.
ANDREWSpectatorA slight change of plan for Saturday 29th ! Both Nick and Errin, and Steve M and Becky have canine accomplices; but it turns out that under the Access Agreement man’s best friends are not allowed on the moor to Simon’s Seat. Doggonnit !!
John was inclined to bristle a bit at this restriction the other night; however to avoid splitting up (which would be barking mad !) it seems best to walk elsewhere, with dogged determination. Obviously only a minority of us are collared by this problem, so I hope Marjan and Linda, John & Penny and anyone else who comes to tag along won’t feel it is a case of the tail wagging the (er) dog.
Saved by a whisker :- Mr Murray has recommended that we park in a lay by below Stump Cross Caverns ,then go round Grimwith reservoir then through Trollers Ghyll and back over the moor.Steve has nipped over to sniff out a rendezvous this morning. Still at 10.15 for a 10.30 start The layby is at Gr 085 635 ,ample room for several cars.
If coming along A59 ,after passing Menwith hill, look for Brown sign post to Stump Cross caverns 8 miles. Pass Stump Cross Caverns 150 metres on left is lay – by.
If coming from Pateley Bridge head for Grassington / Stump Cross Caverns etc.You’ll no doubt have a warm coat if necessary – also Trollers Gill may have some water in it…… so we won’t stay bone dry.
So once you’ve chewed over these few details, we’ll all meet up on 29th
We can co-ordinate transport from York later next week.
ANDREWSpectatorSo it was “Plan B” on Sunday 11th and the 8 of us attending Great Gable were impressed by the fact that another 2000 or so hillgoers were also willing to stand silent in the pouring rain.
An opportunity has opened up for me to take next weekend 17th/18th so Dolly and I are lined up for a trip to Scotland provided the weather continues to improve. Any more want to climb aboard ?
