Overview

Start off from  Trinity Church  and walk through Valley Gardens passing Harlow Hill Water Tower and Horticultural Nursery.  We then follow the streets and alleys until we get to  the Harrogate Ringway.  We will follow the Harrogate Ringway for a while before turning off  and coming back to Harrogate on the Stray.  We will have a very short water stop on route.  On arriving in Harrogate we will have half an hours lunch stop.

The walk will then proceed North of Harrogate behind the railway line to Bilton.  We will then follow streets and alleys until we once again reach the Harrogate Ringway. We will follow this for a short while before turning back to Harrogate and the Church.

We may encounter some mud but the route is mainly urban so there should be little.  It will be walked at a brisk pace.  As we  have the lunch stop in Harrogate before doing the second part of the walk there is an option to finish the walk In Harrogate and just doing  a six mile walk.  Those wishing to do the second part would end up doing a 11 mile circuit.
