Hebden Bridge Walk
https://rucksackclub.org/event/hebden-bridge-walk/
All day
07/03/2020
A 14km (approx.) walk taking in some of Hebden Bridge’s finest cloughs. The walk is based on a meet run by my dad, Graham Heafford, but I have tweaked it a little. The walk will start at St George’s Square Hebden Bridge at 10am (there are plenty of car parks in Hebden Bridge) and will include the following cloughs: Jumble Hole, Colden Clough, Bridge Clough and Nutclough. As the route takes us up and down the valley, there are plenty of opportunities for making the walk shorter for people who are unable to join us for the whole way. There are many beautiful views so it’ll be a pace that suits everyone and allows for time to take in the scenery and eat your butty sat down. Near the walk’s end is the Hare and Hounds pub (Old Town, just above Hebden Bridge) where those who would like to can stop for food/ a drink. If you would like any further details, please contact Rachel, details as per the handbook

Sun Rock Meet
https://rucksackclub.org/event/sun-rock-meet-provisional/
All day
14/03/2020-21/03/2020
We’ve already got about 25 confirmed or probable for Sun Rock 2020, so it’s looking like another fun trip. Here’s the plan so you can make plans / book flights / accommodation etc: Dates: We’ve confirmed dates as 14 to 21 March, but various people are thinking of staying for longer around those dates. Location: We’ll be on the Costa Blanca, and I’ve block-booked a couple of large houses at FinePark near Finestrat (and beneath the Puig Campana) for the week. These sleep a total of 30+ (in a mix of bunk and conventional bed rooms) and there are also a few smaller houses in the same facility. It’s where we stayed in 2017 – check out https://rockaroundtheworld.co.uk/2017/02/11/rucksack-club-sunrockmeet-sella-costa-blanca/ https://rockaroundtheworld.co.uk/2017/02/12/penyondifach/ and the posts around there if you need a reminder). I have negotiated a special rate of €110 per person per week, BUT YOU NEED TO MAKE YOUR OWN BOOKINGS. Please email Michael at michael@finepark.com to confirm your booking, along with dates of course and any room preferences / plans for sharing. Flights & car hire: You’re spoilt for choice, but it’s often best to book early! Flights from Manchester that week are currently around £150 but cheaper from Liverpool (£100) and Leeds (£90) for some reason. For those with some date flexibility (which FinePark should be able to accommodate) if you want to stretch your trip to overlap say 10-24 you can get a bargain from around £60. www.skyscanner.com is a handy site. Car hire can generally be found for a bargain £50 or less at that time of year – I’ll circulate a list of ‘definites’ early in the New Year so you can join forces for bookings if you like.
