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.

by Sir Edmund

It had been 3 years and two days since we last stepped foot in the Wheatsheaf and on that occasion I wasn’t flavour of the month, after a supposed 8 mile walk turn out to be 13 miles long. Today however the walk had been a pleasant 6 miles so we were all full of smiles as we entered to find all the seats taken. The Ingleton Easter egg hunt was on and I suppose it had brought tourists in, which can only be good for the local economy. For us however, it was looking to be a problem, but at the far end of the pub there was seats around the pool table and we situated ourselves there. I got a round in for everyone which came to about £23 I think, which for 8 drinks, plus four or five bags of crisps and team nibbles is about average.
