Sunday October 15 walk
Our Sunday walk this month will visit the east side of the village. As usual we will meet at Burley station to leave at 10.00. Dogs are welcome on leads if owners have the required insurance.
The 4.75 mile route follows the river from Greenholme Mill before crossing Otley Golf Course to reach Acrecliffe Farm at Ellar Ghyll. We then pass through Menston to Bleach Mill House for refreshments before returning via Hag Farm Road.
The route is mostly level except for one short but steep flight of steps. Paths will probably be muddy in places. There are two low step stiles.
New weekday walk
In response to interest in a short weekday walk we plan to organise a three to four mile walk on the first Friday of the month.
The first walk will be on Friday 1st December meeting at 10am at Burley Station with the aim of returning around midday. More details to follow next month.
Forthcoming Sunday walks
November 19 to be led by David Steel
December 17 to be led by Simon Archer

Yet More Rambles from the Roundhouse
A reminder that our third leaflet is now on sale in the village at the Coffee Station, Cohen’s the Chemist and AM-PM minimarket. Also at Just Books in Ilkley and Otley, Mounsey’s in Otley and The Grove Bookshop in Ilkley.
