Todays walk in detail

On a glorious sunny morning the Club met at Kirkburton near Huddersfield. It is an area we do not visit much and perhaps we should go there more often. The 9 mile walk started with a steep short climb out of the village into the open countryside. The whole walk was dominated by the imposing Elmley Moor Tower (1047ft) which was always  in view. Our lunch stop started with one female walker deciding to have a comfort break but she strayed off the path and the trespass alarms went off causing great hilarity as she hurried back buttoning up her shorts. The walk passed the Dearne Lea Tea Rooms where nearly all availed themselves to a treat of freshly homemade icecream from the milk on the farm. Welcome rehydration in the sunshine was taken at The Black Bull in Shepley.
