11 places left
Join Lee on an 8.5km (5 mile) leisurely walk over the rolling hills of East Yorkshire. The route will take us up onto the Wolds and Minster Ways. After which, there is a pub and café in the village to quench our thurst.
Total ascent is around 226m over rolling hills (gravel tracks and fields).
Those members who rely on public transport, please don't be put off given the remote location. Please post a request for a lift as there will always be some members able to help. Note, bus services from York and Hull stop off in Pocklington which can be a good rendezvous point.
This walk is suitable for well behaved dogs.
