Midlife Hikers walk at Hole of Horcum
Advertisement
🥾 13½ miles 🥾 Strenuous 🥾 Leader: Stevie 🥾
See the North Yorkshire Moors at their finest, carpeted with a vibrant pink and purple heather. From the Hole of Horcum car park, we head east to Malo Cross and then to the other-worldly rocky outcrops of the Bridestones, and on to the pretty villages of Lockton and Levisham. We return by way of the ruins of Skelton Tower, where we might catch a glimpse of the steam railway 🚂, and then around the edge of the magnificent bowl of the Hole of Horcum itself.
This is a longer walk with a few short but steep hills along the way – we'll take them at a comfortable pace and there will be plenty of opportunities to stop and admire the scenery, so it should still be within the capabilities of most of our members, but please be aware it will be harder than usual!
🅿️ Saltergate car park on the A169 – £6.20 for the day, payment by contactless card/phone or app only
🐶 Dogs are welcome, but must be kept on a lead at all times
🥪 You will need to bring a packed lunch, some snacks and plenty of water
🍺 After the walk, we will head to a nearby pub for a drink
Midlife Hikers is a Ramblers group for people in their 40s and 50s, and our walks are led by volunteers. Non-members are welcome to try us out for free for up to 3 walks but then we ask you to join the Ramblers
