  • The York Minster Community Walker's Report 2020 Pages
    York Minster Community Walkers Report for 2020 The popularity of the First Saturday Walks continued at a pace in February with twenty eight walkers turning out on a frosty day at Settrington, this high trend became the norm for eight out of the ten 2019 venues. The Third Saturday long distance walkers have also seen an increase in numbers twelve walkers participated in walking the Six Dales Trail from Otley crossing the dales: Wharfedale - Washburndale - Nidderdale - Colsterdale - Coverdale - Wensleydale to Middleham. Two more Pilgrimages in 2019: The first was the Peak Pilgrimage from Ilam to Monyash in March, then from Monyash to Eyam to complete the 61km pilgrimage in October. The fourteen pilgrims all received warm welcomes when visiting the churches en-route, on this “Spring and Autumn Peak District Away-days” adventure. The second was a continuation of the 2018 Pilgrimage when six of the walkers walked across Tuscany from Lucca to Siena. Four of those walkers continued the Via Francigena Pilgrimage from Viterbo through Vetralla - Capranica - Sutri - Monterosi - Campagnano di Roma - La Storta into Rome. Completing the whole distance of 255 km, culminating with a major security and interesting visit for them into the Sacristy of the Vatican to receive Certificates and Vatican Timbres. The Walker’s Web site viewing numbers have fallen to about 80,000 a fall of twenty thousand! However the cause may be a viewer’s switch to the Walker’s (sister) Archive Photographs site which has all the same photographs that the former site has, plus also the large pilgrimage collections too, on a Full-screen format.

This festival has grown from year to year, featuring the best young musical talent that Otley has to offer, an increase in variety of street performers and exciting new fun attractions, such as the inflatable climbing wall. The festival originated four years ago in a very small and intimate way as a 'thank you' from the retailers on Newmarket who felt that they wanted to give something back to the community. From then its grown year on year taking on a much wider and greater aspect. The Otley Street festival Organisation has a dual aim, to raise the awareness of Otley as a unique market town being a fantastic place to visit aiding tourism with the spin- off of helping local business but has now also become a beacon for young local talent within our community, giving young bands possibly their first taste of performing on a stage to such a large audience. The line- up is great this year, we have eleven bands on stage this year, the Rough and Ready Boys being the head liners, along with Reel Jiggy, Joe Gallaghar, Curfew, Little Wolfe, AKA, Insomnia, Mechanical Eddie, Malorie Green, Musical Fusion starting at 1 pm and going on until 10.00pm, plus solo artists and buskers.
