This walk is cancelled due to a weather warning for extreme heat. It will be rescheduled for 9 August
We are the York Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
This walk replaces the Kirklees Way which would have entailed using bus replacements.
We start along the Calder and Hebble Navigation before ascending to high ground overlooking the Calder Valley. After descending to further cross the navigation we again ascend to gain further extensive views of the valley. Our descent takes us to the old town of Ripponden.
Our leader is Roger tel: 07947 740658.
No dogs please.
We catch the 08.50 train from York to Brighouse which arrives at 09.35 where we start the walk.
