Then heading back to Hebden via Reaps Cross and the Pennine Bridleway. A total of nearly 15 miles and over 4000 feet of climbing. | |||||

The 'C' group's walk this month, was up Golden Clough to Jack Bridge, then across Staups Moor to Great Rock where they took lunch ! Continuing, we dropped down to the Leeds Liverpool Canal for the walk back to Hebden. Not content with the walk, some of the group were able to 'offer advice' and assistance to a boater in trouble, while others rested! Back in Hebden, the group enjoyed a number of venues. | |||||
