We are the York Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
From Grimston Bar P&R, we'll skirt the uni velodrome, enjoying glimpses of rabbits while birdsong drowns out traffic noise. Then lots of lovely trees and wildflowers, country lanes and paths around fields. The Rabbit Warren Wood might still be full of rhododendrons, and very muddy if wet, as well as overgrown both underfoot and overhead, so we'll probably enjoy it from the footpath. Even on a dry mid-May recce day, the ground was a bit too boggy for trainers.
We continue to Kexby church for the bus ride back to York, or you can wait at Scoreby Lodge if you've had enough by then.
Flat as a pancake once we've descended from the bus stop at the beginning of the walk and negotiated the slight ups and downs around the velodrome.
Grimston Bar Park and Ride is our starting point. You can take the number 8 bus from Piccadilly at 10.03 or before that just before 10am from the Peasholme Green stop going towards town. Leader will meet the bus, probably at Badger Hill.
We finish at Kexby Church where buses pass the Old School House stop about three times an hour. There's a break-off point at Scoreby Lodge, about a mile or so earlier.
