Well, my inbox has been inundated with Black Friday offers over the last few days (I know, it was actually last week, but the emails still keep coming!), and so in the spirit of the times here is my offer:
The 5 Trigs and Trods walk next Saturday (6th December) contains not only
- 5 Trig points – White Hill, Standedge, Cupworth Hill, Dog Hill, Blackstone Edge
- 5 interesting stone pillars
- 2 ancient bridges
- 18 miles of the South Pennines best moorland
- Possible Christmas tree and snowman (there was last year!)
but, I’m willing to add, at no extra cost, the first of the 6 Stanza Stones – a wonderful poem on the theme of rain. Those of you who came on the Ilkley Moor walk on the Annual Dinner weekend will already have visited 3 of the 6 Stanza Stones (2 for the shorter variants) – here is a chance to tick off another.
Last year’s outing was exciting to say the least in the gale force winds, the forecast for this Saturday looks nice and calm. Here are a couple of photos to give you a taste for it…
The details can be found in the calendar on the website and are briefly as follows:
Co-ordinator: Ian Helliwell
Meet at the layby at the summit of the A672 just a few hundred yards from Junction 22 of the M62 (grid ref SD983142 W3W: bumping.riverside.exhaling) – it’s a Godless place but convenient for travel. Starting at 8:30 a.m., if we keep up a good pace, we should be back to the cars at around 4 p.m.
email me if you want a gpx/mp of the route
I don’t usually get ‘taken in’ by Black Friday deals, but your sales pitch is so utterly convincing that I will see you at the ‘Godless place’ 8.30 a.m., Saturday morning.
