The Nidderdale Way over two days
A joint walk with West Yorkshire Group in celebration of the LDWA's 50th Anniversary

Loop 1: Saturday 23 April, led by West Yorkshire:
The southern anticlockwise loop of the Nidderdale Way via Bewerley, Dacre Banks, Darley, Birstwith, Hampsthwaite, Ripley, Shaw Mills and Brimham.  Start and finish at Pateley Bridge.

Loop 2: Sunday 24 April, led by North Yorkshire:
The northern anticlockwise loop of the Nidderdale Way via Wath, Bouthwaite, Lofhouse, Middlesmoor, Stean, Ramsgill, and Heathfield.  The alternative route was taken around Gouthwaite Reservoir to avoid the long road-walking section.  Start and finish at Pateley Bridge. 

A terrific joint initiative with our good neighbours West Yorkshire, a great turnout and an opportunity to catch up with old friends.  A tough weekend for those who walked both days but thoroughly enjoyed by all.
