Overview

We will meet at Masham cricket grounds before we head along the river to Grewelthorpe, we will go through Hackfall Woods and up towards the Himalayan Gardens. We will skim the gardens and head towards Nutwith Woods and common from here we will head back towards the other side of the river on route back to Masham. 

This is a lovely river walk, with a little steep climb in the beginning, some road walking.
It can be quite muddy if we have wet weather.
