Just in case you think there has been a mistake in the date for this walk. We have changed it from the 26 April to the 3 May because some people in the club are away on holiday. We could have changed the date to the 19 April but that would have meant doing the walk over the Easter weekend. After this walk we go back to normal with a walk on the 10 May.
There are as usual three routes to choose from with all of them starting along the Blakey Ridge Road close to the Lion Inn. All the routes go down into Farndale where we have often walked the Daffodill route between High Mill and Low Mill. We usually do the Daffodill route in April but it would always be hit and miss whether we were there at the right time. Walking into Farndale on the 3 May is probably going to be a bit late but there might be a few late daffodills around.
The three routes are 11 miles, 10 miles and 9 miles. They all go into the Farndale but from different start points with the 11 mile route starting first followed by the the 10 mile route and finally the 9 mile route. All the routes go south towards Hutton-le-Hole but it's not until the last few miles that they come together.
There is not a great difference in the mileage for these routes so choose one and have a great walk down Farndale into the really nice village of Hutton-le-Hole. You can get in touch from our Contact Page, you can also download the walk descriptions here and the GPS routes here.
