  • Leeds Country Way (64 Miles) in a Day, Saturday, 9 September, Stuart Gall
    Leeds Country Way (64 miles) in a Day, Saturday, 9 September, Stuart Gall Garforth, Woodlesford, Rothwell, Stanley, Alverthorpe, Ardsley, Gildersome, Tong, Thornbury, Lower Fagley, Apperley Bridge, Rawdon, Horsforth, Cookridge, Golden Acre park, Eccup, Harewood, Wike, East Keswick, Bardsey, Thorner, Barwick, Scholes, The Podger. Darkness had well and truly fallen. My clothes had been wet all day but now I couldn’t run fast enough to keep warm and my body temperature was dropping fast. The path weaved between the trees but that hadn’t caused the dizziness I was now feeling. The lights of Garforth and the finish line still seemed so far away. You all know the end of this story – that I finished the Leeds Country Way “All The Way Round” in 16hours 22mins – this account will hopefully give you an insight into the journey. I’d been interested in doing a full loop of the Leeds Country Way for a good few years and when Glen Johnson pitched the idea – I jumped at it. But then my good mate Steve Jones announced a Bob Graham Attempt on the same weekend and I was torn – thankfully a Cub Camp for my daughter meant that I couldn’t have the car that weekend and LCW-ALWR was back on. I am a distinctly ordinary runner, I don’t train EVER (check out my Strava as proof that my fitness regime consists of cycling to work, the occasional stroll at lunchtime and a race or parkrun thrown in for good measure) but what I do seem to have is an inbuilt stubbornness that cancels out my lack of athletic ability.

  • Draft Rights of Way Improvement Plan
    DRAFT RIGHTS OF WAY IMPROVEMENT PLAN Executive Summary and Action Plan May to September 2008 This draft Rights of Way Improvement Plan (ROWIP), forms a ten year management plan, setting out areas for consideration and improvement across the public rights of way network within the Leeds district. As the Local Authority, we have a statutory duty to publish a Rights of Way Improvement Plan for Leeds which we see as an aspirational document highlighting improvements (which in part) are over and above the basic statutory requirements. This ROWIP provides an opportunity to bid for additional funding on an informed basis. This in turn will inform the Council’s future investment decisions concerning improvements to the public rights of way network in Leeds. We recognise that the rights of way network provides an important recreational resource for the city. Accordingly, in developing this plan we have ensured that it links to the aims and priorities at both a national and local level, such as the West Yorkshire Local Transport Plan, Vision for Leeds, Leeds Strategic Plan, Cultural, Sport and Recreation Strategies. Our draft Plan will be subject to a 12 week statutory consultation period during which, comments can be made. Following this public consultation period, the final Plan will be published, taking into account any comments and suggestions made. The Leeds ROWIP will be reviewed again within 10 years. This Rights of Way Improvement Plan covers eight main sections and begins by setting out the legislative requirements and guidance on how to prepare such plans as part of the Countryside and Rights of Way Act, 2000.

  • LEEDS COUNTRY WAY Is a 62 Mile Circular Route That Can Be Started at Any Point Along the Way and Could Be Walked in Either Direction
    LEEDS COUNTRY WAY is a 62 mile circular route that can be started at any point along the way and could be walked in either direction. However, for the purpose of these leaflets, the route description starts at Golden Acre Park in north Leeds and goes in a clockwise direction. Each leaflet in this series covers approximately one quarter of the circle, and each is sub-divided into Leeds three sections of about 5 miles. If you are walking sections of a Way Leeds like this, one big problem can be how to get Metropolitan to your starting point, and then how to get home District again at the end. This problem is relatively easily solved on the Leeds Country Country Way by using public transport that is available at many points along the route. For bus and train information contact Metro on: 0113 245 7676, Way between 7am and 10pm or www.wymetro.com Parking Start point Boating LCW Bus stop Danger Pond Motorway Telephone Summit Bird garden Roundabout Toilets Trig Point Nature area Main ‘A’ road Cafe Golf course Wild Birds Main ‘B’ road (summer Historic Sports only) house ground Paved road Eatery Church Housing Other paths Pub Wood Green Space Recreational routes Railway Bridge Water Station Part 1 Stream / River Golden Acre Park Produced by: Leeds Part 1 to Barwick-in-Elmet Learning and Leisure Country Golden Acre Park Parks and Countryside 2006 Way to Barwick-in-Elmet However you arrive at Golden Acre Park, make your way to the display Cross a stone stile, another smaller field, and a wooden stile into a boards at the bottom of the main car park.

  • Leeds Country Way (64 Miles) in a Day, Saturday, 9 September
    Leeds Country Way (64 miles) in a Day, Saturday, 9 September, Glen Johnson Garforth, Woodlesford, Rothwell, Stanley, Alverthorpe, Ardsley, Gildersome, Tong, Thornbury, Lower Fagley, Apperley Bridge, Rawdon, Horsforth, Cookridge, Golden Acre park, Eccup, Harewood, Wike, East Keswick, Bardsey, Thorner, Barwick, Scholes, The Podger. Seizing the opportunity: Since 2015, (the first time I dipped my toes into ultra-territory) I have been a little obsessed with the Leeds Country Way and trying to run it in one go. This year in a twist of fate the opportunity arose and it happened. Not only is the LCW almost perfectly 100k but it is right on my doorstep as well! What a brilliant way to gain a completely different view of this very busy and hectic City, get away from the bustle and enjoy an entirely different view point of Leeds. Seeing as there were no medals or T-shirts on offer (and I wasn't prepared to do it for nothing), inspired by Nathan and his beautiful wife Karen, I did the charity thing. With a whole lot of barraging I raised £901.70 for St Gemma's. I’m chuffed about that, thank you to all that donated. On the day: 9 of us set off from Garforth Leisure Centre at 6:10 (was supposed to be 6:00 but unusually I was late) with 2 of us focused on running the lot. "The lone wolf” (aka Stuart) had already set off at 5:00 because 6:00 wasn't early enough and he was inevitably going to get lost on Leg 2!! Leg 1: The nine of us ran together on Leg 1 until the girls constant watering of the LCW split us up.

  • July 09 Newsletter:Layout 1
    Sorry about that...couldn’t resist...normal service now resumes... July 09 Steve wins at Winterton! Earlier this month Steve Large took a break from his half-marathon-a-month schedule to run the Winterton Ten Mile race and was presumably delighted to finish first overall in a time of 61:05. The race is organised by Winterton Running Club and is held as part of the local show - Winterton being in North Lincolnshire, near Scunthorpe. I have thanked Steve for the photos but assume they were taken by Karen Large (Steve being the wrong side of the camera) and very good they are too! Above: Steve crosses the finish line at Winterton, and left, clutching the winners shield - Steve’s name will be the first on it! - and an armful of prizes. Pics from Steve. And as if that weren’t enough... Lads win at Golden Acre Relays and more success at Danefield Relays! The Horsforth Cronks - a collection of cranks, crocks and crooks - just guessing! - compris- ing of Richard Sunley, Marc Springer and Andy Riddoch took first place at the Golden Acre Relays on 8th July. Or as Marc said, ‘First vets, first everything!’ We even managed to loan Phil McGeever to a team called Hydro Flyers (from Ilkley we think) who finished, thanks to Phil, in 14th place overall. Steve O’Hara was also running for a team under the ‘parkrun’ banner, and we had a girls team - Angie Pattinson, Serena Blackburn and Cath Gray - also running. Picture, right, shows Marc handing over to Andy who ran the final leg.

The origin of the name ‘Garforth’ is a choice between two accepted possibilities, both based on Norse roots. The first part comes either from ‘geirl’, meaning a triangular piece of land or from the name of a man, ‘Geir’, ‘Ger’ or ‘Gaer’. The second part refers unequivocally to a ford. The stream forded is today known as Sheffield Beck and was later bridged near that point – hence Garforth Bridge. The entry in Domesday Book (1086) was ‘Gereford’ and this or ‘Gerford’ was the way it was spelt during the 13th and 14th centuries. In the 15th century it became ‘Garford’. In 1559 it was ‘Garfurthe’, in 1603 ‘Garfurth’ and, finally, since 1632, ‘Garforth’. Wakefield Road Milestone Between 410 A.D. and 627 A.D.
