Walk 36: The Lang Way Round

Langcliffe from Settle: It seemed like an eternity since the Badgers had been together for a stroll, so I was more than looking forward to it as we parked up in Settle and readied ourselves for the off. In fact it had been just over a month…

Walk 69 – Leeds Country Way Part 6 – Barwick in Elmet to Garforth

Barwick in Elmet to Garforth:The walk from Barwick in Elmet to Garforth was one that I was looking forward to immensely. It wasn’t the route that was getting me particularly excited, nor was it the company, although all are extremely nice people. The sense of anticipation was purely down to the fact it had been so long since the Badgers had been on a walk.

After four months without a Badgers outing due to the arrival of yet another member I was extremely excited for today’s walk. Not only was it the first time we had been out since the highs and lows of the Lyke Wake Walk, but we were also trying something new and today was the first adventure to find a trig point within the city of Leeds (hence the walk title).

It had been a little over two years since we last visited and I had been looking forward to it, although I was a little apprehensive too. Everything in the Lake District is bigger, steeper and harder than anywhere else we have walked, or so it seemed from memory. Read the rest of this entry »

After a couple of different but equally enjoyable walks over the previous two days we had the final walk of our Easter walking weekend. Today it would be Roseberry Topping that would be the focus of attention, and we would also visit Captain Cook’s monument on a lovely five mile circular route. We were joined for the third day running by people travelling to meet the six of us staying in the log cabin, and once ready we posed for the obligatory team photo.
