18 mile Aislabie walk around the Nidderdale area visiting Galphay, Kirkby Malzeard, Grewelthorpe, Hack Fall (to see new fountain), Azerley and Studley Royal deer park. Tea room at finish.
Visiting Beamsley Beacon and Simon's Seat. Fifteen on the walk in what proved to be quite difficult conditions. A detour was made to the Strid but the Wharfe was so swollen the rocks were completely submerged. Simon's Seat was cancelled due to the poor weather.
