Barden Bridge - by Jess Petheram

---

Hello outdoorsoccers,

To everyone who came out yesterday, I hope you had as enjoyable a day as I did. It was certainly a successful expedition into the wilds of Lancashire.

THIS WEEK we are staying in our own beloved Yorkshire and heading for the Dales, specifically Barden Bridge in Wharfedale, not far from Bolton Abbey and with the prospect of some excellent walking. Hopefully the weather will continue to improve and it should be a lovely day out before exam stress really kicks in (if it hasn't already).

I would like to remind anyone who isn't a member that membership for the summer term is currently just £5. If you have already been on a couple of walks, we do request that you go ahead and get the membership so that we can continue running the society at the standard you deserve. You can do this either at Vanbrugh stalls on Thursday or at the walk on Sunday.

ESSENTIAL INFO
We meet near the white benches outside the Roger Kirk Centre in James College at 8.50am. Arrival time back to campus varies depending on where we are walking but we’re normally back between 5-6pm.
Costs:
£6 per walk for Outdoor Soc Members
£8 per walk for non Outdoor Soc Members
You can buy tickets from Vanbrugh stalls between 12-2pm on Thursdays, or online at www.yusu.org/shop all week.

We offer a choice of two walks- a medium walk of 8-12km with lunch at a lovely local pub or a long walk of 15-18km where you bring your own packed lunch. If you choose to do a medium walk don’t forget money for the pub, because not all of them take cards. If you do a long walk don’t forget to bring lunch or else you’ll be very hungry!

Please wear appropriate clothing for a walk in the English countryside! Walking boots are best, but if you don’t have any sturdy trainers should be fine. Try and avoid wearing jeans, because they get very unpleasant to wear when it rains. As this is England you should always be prepared for rain, no matter HOW sunny it looks, so remember to bring waterproofs or other appropriate wet weather gear.

If you have any questions or suggestions please email me on jess@outdoorsoc.co.uk

Happy Walking!

Pendle Hill - by Jess Petheram

Hello outdoorsoccers!

Hopefully all of you who went had a lovely time at Thornton-le-Dale yesterday and are keen for more walking delights next Sunday.

THIS WEEK’S DESTINATION
This week we are going to Pendle Hill, all the way over in Lancashire, famous for the witch trials which took place in the seventeenth century. The hill itself provides an excellent bit of walking and it should be a great day. It does mean we will probably be back on campus a little later than we usually are, but it will hopefully be worth it.

ESSENTIAL INFO

Costs:

Don't forget membership is now £5 for the summer term, so join up and save money on future walks.
