Todays walk in detail

25/04/2024

Winthrop - Sandy Flat Lane circular.

On a dull Thursday morning 25 walkers + 2 dogs assembled at Winthrop Gardens for another Wickersley Walking Festival Walk.
The 5 mile walk took us over fields and woods towards the hamlet of Morthen. We had a short stop for the obligatory coffee break and continued on through Morthen and along York Lane to quickly but safely cross the road at Royds Moor. With a threatening sky and over more fields we joined Sandy Flat Lane towards Wickersley. Five walkers left us to take a short cut back. We continued up Quarryfields and down through Wickersley Wood to arrive at Winthrop where refreshments were taken.
Thanks to all who took part and to John (back marker) and Dave (middle marker).
Phil.
