A chilly start from Carlton in Coverdale led to people putting on extra layers. Fifteen of us set off down the steep, wooded hill to Caygill Bridge and uphill to the typical dales village of West Scrafton. We then followed the road to just before Nathwaite Bridge and through pasture to Swinesid
12 walkers joined Ed on a walk over Kirkcarrion from Middleton-in-Teesdale. They enjoyed the winter sun with stunning views over Lunedale and also negotiated several streams.
A minor cold pandemic reduced our numbers drastically, leaving four male bikers to enjoy a windy but beautiful autumn day out. Kepwick bank is always a good warm up but great views over to the Dales is always a decent reward. We picked up the Paradise trail for a short distance before making the
Friday was Guy Fawkes night and seven mountain bikers gathered at Clay Bank car park to take to the high ground to see the fireworks over Teesside. Traffic proved a bit heavy and caught some out resulting in a ten minute delay to the start to the ride, a bit of Hikey Bikey up the Cleveland way so

Ten of us met up at the car park in front of the closed Travellers Rest pub, though not before some awkward manoeuvring into the limited space available. Before setting off I took the opportunity to explain the current well-advanced plans to buy and re-open the Travellers as a community pub. A

On occasion, everything comes together to create a perfect walking day. This was one of those days.
A Wander in Wensleydale
10 club members assembled in Leyburn market place for the walk led by Brian. The forecast was cloudy with possible rain later in the day; how wrong they were.
Tunstall Reservoir Thursday 6 May 2021
Nine walkers joined Graham and me for a walk from Wolsingham taking in the scenic delights of Weardale - an area seldom visited by the section.
