Bardon Moor- Burley Walkers are Welcome

Simon Archer will lead this eleven-mile walk around Barden Moor. We will need to allow for travel time so will set off from Burley Station at 9.30, again making use of an Ilkley Community Transport minibus. There will be a £6 charge for the minibus – bring cash on the day. Due to limit on space, please book by mail beforehand on [email protected]   

We will start the walk at a high level, going across Barden Moor to Rylstone Cross before heading to the Cracoe Obelisk.  Skirting the perimeter of the moor we will then drop down to Lower Barden Reservoir to return to the minibus.  The route will be relatively level and mostly use good tracks with some moorland paths.  Please bring enough to drink and a picnic lunch.  For the return it will be possible to leave extra drink or food on the minibus as there are no nearby cafes. Make sure you come equipped for a high-level walk with possible bad weather.

Burley Moor & Lower Lanshaw Reservoir- Burley Walkers are Welcome

The 5 mile walk this month is led by David Asher, climbing up to the lower levels of Burley Moor to pass by Lower Lanshaw Reservoir.  Meet at Burley Station at 10.00.

Leaving Burley via Scalebor Park, we will go on field paths to Stead Lane.  Passing by Mount Stead, we will cross Moor Road to climb up onto the moor along an old quarry track before crossing to Lower Lanshaw Reservoir.  We will traverse the moor to York View then go along part of Green Lane before dropping down across the fields to the Hermit. Return to Burley will be downhill to Hag Farm Road then back to the station. There will be an option to continue to Cockpit Farm for refreshments.   There are no stiles although there are a couple of steepish climbs up onto the moor, which we will take steadily.  Remember to bring a drink for a half way break.
