  • Wheel Easy Ride Report 541
    Sunday, September 18, 2016 Wheel Easy Ride Report 541 Short Ride There were only four of us for the short ride today but it is quality not quantity that counts. So Dennis, Corinne and Malcolm joined me for a jaunt through the sunny countryside. Having been warned that the area around Beckwithshaw would be busy with a Harrogate Harriers Trail Race we opted for Oakdale Bridge and Pennypot Lane, but with Pot Bank closed for the race Pennypot was even more than usual a busy race track. But we survived and turned off to cross the A59 at the Black Bull, the swooped down into Kettlesing. We dawdled along quiet sunlit back lanes coming across the house with a magnificent flower display (photo), and arrived at Clapham Green before making haste for the inevitable Sophie Stop at Hampsthwaite. Lots of cyclists were doing a Leeds 100 event and arrived but we were comfortably ensconced in the garden and were not moving whatever arrived! Soon Steve and Neeta Wilson appeared and also joined us in the garden. Eventually we headed homeward along Hollybank Lane and the Greenway. Twenty exceptionally pleasant miles in the early autumn sunshine. Martin W Slow-Medium Ride There were two gents and eight ladies for today's ride and we set off for Boroughbridge in glorious sunshine. Lovely to see Ruth back with us after a little break over the summer. The route had to be changed from the one posted on the Internet as I was not sure of the way. We rode to Knaresborough, Abbey Road and turned right to the Wetherby Road.

  • This Walk Description Is from Happyhiker.Co.Uk Ramsgill To
    This walk description is from happyhiker.co.uk Ramsgill to Lofthouse Starting point and OS Grid reference Ramsgill – roadside parking at village green (SE 119710) Ordnance Survey map OS Explorer Map 298 - Nidderdale. Distance 5 miles Traffic light rating Introduction: Nidderdale missed out on a Yorkshire Dales designation when the National Park was founded in 1954, which was a pity as it is certainly scenic enough to justify inclusion. It has gained prestige however through being designated as an Area of Outstanding National Beauty in 1994. Not surprisingly, the River Nidd flows through it and this walk from Ramsgill explores a short pretty middle section of it. The walk is an easy low level 5 mile “stroll” following the Nidderdale Way, ideal for the shorter winter days or when conditions higher are unappealing. It could be linked with my Lofthouse to Scar House Reservoir walk if you wanted a longer walk of about 15 miles. The Nidderdale Way sign with its Curlew will become a familiar sight. To get to Ramsgill, heading west through Pateley Bridge on the B6265, turn right after crossing the river bridge. Ramsgill is signposted. The road follows the lengthy Gouthwaite reservoir and Ramsgill is reached shortly after its end. Park on the main road by the village green, opposite the Yorke Arms where there are convenient benches for booting up. Refreshments are a possibility at the Crown Hotel in Lofthouse but check the times (and days!) of opening. Start: Facing the Yorke Arms, turn left and walk along the road. After only 50 yards or so, after crossing the bridge, take the track on the left then fork right to follow the fingerpost for the Nidderdale Way.

  • Introduction Nidderdale Is Probably the Least Known of the Major Yorkshire Dales
    Introduction Nidderdale is probably the least known of the major Yorkshire Dales. It is wedged between the two great valleys of Wharfedale and Wensleydale, and is the most eastern of all the dales. Although outside the Yorkshire Dales National Park, in 1994 it was designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in recognition of its exceptional landscape. The Nidderdale AONB covers 233 square miles (603 square km), has a population of 17,700 and includes part of Wensleydale, lower Wharfedale and the Washburn Valley. Nidderdale is unique among the dales in having three large bodies of water – the reservoirs of Gouthwaite, Scar House and Angram – linked by the River Nidd, whose name means ‘brilliant’ in Celtic. It also boasts impressive natural features such as Brimham Rocks, Guise Clif and How Stean Gorge. The lower dale is a domesticated landscape with lush pastures, gentle hills and plentiful woods with scattered farms and villages. The upper dale is bleaker, with sweeping horizons and desolate heather covered moors. Author Paul Hannon justly describes Nidderdale as a ‘jewel of the Dales’. Over its 54 miles (87 km), the Nidderdale Way takes you through the fnest walking in this little known valley. Gouthwaite Reservoir and dam 4 1 Planning and preparation The Nidderdale Way is a waymarked long-distance walk that makes a 54 mile (87 km) circuit of the valley of the River Nidd. Almost all of the Way lies within the boundaries of the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB): for the history of the route, see page 70. Although not a National Trail, it is marked by the Ordnance Survey (OS).
