September 2017


We’re well into autumn now but we still have 2 more runs to look forward to. We didn’t have a club run in August but some of our members participated in the Snowdon Run and enjoyed it so much they have already entered for next year.
 Some members also joined in the Potteries Run earlier this month with Martin & Brenda winning the prize for furthest travelled.
 Our monthly meeting was again well attended and plans are well under way for next years calendar.
 Roger and Sue had volunteered to organise a trip to North Yorkshire to include an overnight stop. We left Sizergh on 30th Sept for a leisurely drive to Darlington where we were to stay the night at Blackwell Grange. John And Alex lead the way along the A65 to Ingleton then through the beautiful Ribble Valley to Hawes, over Satron Moor to Low Row for lunch at The Punch Bowl Inn. It was then just a short drive to Darlington where we spent a very pleasant evening wining and dining. After breakfast we set off for the North Yorkshire Moors with Roger & Sue at the helm. After a coffee stop at the Rounton Farm shop we took a clockwise tour of the western half of the moors as far north as Danby then down to Rosedale, Hutton le Hole via Chimney Bank, Kirkbymoorside & finally finishing at Barrowby. Our journey home was via A684 to Kendal. Some went straight home whilst the remaining ended the weekend with a meal at Gilpin Bridge Inn.
 A big thank you to Roger & Sue for a most enjoyable weekend.
