On last Saturday's walk we're delighted to report that the search for Salmo Salar was successful and salmon were spotted at Stainforth...BUT...they were too fast for any of us to take a photo!
Why not join us on a future guided walk?

Last Saturday we left the World Heritage site of Saltaire, & set off to explore the hills and woodlands around Baildon. It was surprisingly strenuous walking with plenty of ups and downs to work those legs. A great way to get fit and enjoy yourself at the same time!

Every morning we open a window to the Yorkshire Dales National Park and share some of its special qualities, like this view of a field barn and drystone walls in Wensleydale.

Last Saturday's walk took us from Langwathby through the Eden Valley to Armathwaite.
Rain clouds all around on the North Pennine hills but we stayed (mostly) dry!
We paused to admire Long Meg & Her Daughters, the mysterious & magnificent neolithic stone circle!
