Scarborough- Cloughton- Hayburn Wyke

                       Walk to a Waterfall 

Yet again we started our outing by meeting up at Leeds railway station, in time to catch the twelve minutes past nine train heading east to Scarborough. The journey takes about 75 minutes. On arrival at the station we now cross the road , in order to take the Whitby bound bus to the village of  Cloughton. From here we take the lane that leads you to the coastal path, this time we are heading north. A bit of a downhill uphill start to this pathway but eventually it evens out and then lends itself to great views of the surrounding countryside. Although a fine sunny day was forecast this part of the journey was rather cool with the odd prospect of a lite shower, some 30 minutes on and the sun appeared, this brightened our spirit as we trekked towards Hayburn Wyke.


On approaching the cliff tops near to this location ,we could just about make out the Waterfall as it cascaded down towards the sea. The pathway now took us through a wooded area as we made our winding way down towards the shore far below us. Some 15 minutes later we were at the head of the waterfall, only to find out that it was cascading about 20 feet to a small rock pool on the beach, even so this was a delightful setting which included a picnic area . We enjoyed a welcome break here as the sun shone down on our group.





After a good 30 minutes recuperating we began the steady climb back out of the woods this time by a different route. Our aim is to find the disused railway line that ran between Scarborough and Whitby.
This we found in close proximity to the Hayburn Wyke Inn, joining the pathway here we now headed back towards Cloughton. At this point a bus ride was now made back to Scarborough.
Once in the town, we now made our way to the Harbour Bar for refreshments before starting the long walk along Marine Drive. The destination now was the North Bay Fisheries to enjoy their delights .
From here it's back towards the railway station and our journey back home.

Yet another fantastic outing.

  Wednesday 6th March 2024.               Birthday Bash at Horbury Today’s outing for the Lads will consist of a trip to the small town of Horbury and visit a local Inn named the Shepherds Arms all in the aid of celebrating 2 of our colleagues birthdays, those individuals being Malcolm and Mark, accompanied by John, Colin, Derek, Glenn, Keith and Dave. A meeting time of midday was arranged along with a pre booked table reservation courtesy of Derek. Some Lads travelled there by train and bus whilst others came by car. Our group of eight assembled in the car park awaiting for the entrance doors to be opened, it was a much colder day than the previous two days , so waiting around wasn’t what we expected, however the doors eventually opened and we were soon seated at an appropriate table close to the bar. Drinks were ordered and the menu browsed over with various conversations now taking place, some few minutes later the waitress began to take our individual selections of meals etc. More

Out and about 2016

           Elvington  Air Musium  The journey to this location starts with a bus ride from Leeds to York. Once in York we walk a short distance to Merchant Gate. This is where we catch a local bus that will take us to the museum, this journey taking about 35 minutes.The driver dropping us off at the gates. From here it's just a short walk to the admission hut. After paying our entrance fee and given a brief description of what to expect, we are left to explore this nostalgic setting at our own pace. The general layout is much of what it would have been like in the WW2 era, but now with quite a number of modern additions to its airborne craft.  As we wondered about the old accommodation blocks, you get a feeling of what it would have been like for the personnel who were stationed here. Lots of photos and memorabilia on display along with the various aircraft of that time. The large hanger alone was worth the admission fee. A great adventure was had by all.  The local

Ambling at Anglers

 Wednesday 20th March 2024.                  Ambling at Anglers On a day that was predicted to be rather wet, we were rather fortunate not to contend with any serious downpours of rain as we walked around the lake here at Anglers Country Park. This is a location on the outskirts of Wakefield near the village of Crofton. It was a group of six that would venture out on a wet morning to converge on this location, their means of getting there would involve various modes of transport, John and Colin by train and bus , Derek, Dave and Glenn by bus, Keith arriving by car. Their journeys not running smoothly though. The 196 bus at 10:51 from Wakefield to Anglers was cancelled so a ride on the 195 was substituted only to find out that this particular bus didn’t go the full route to Anglers, it dropped off John, Colin, Derek and Dave at a bus terminus in Crofton and await the arrival of a 196 bus to continue their journey.  In the meantime Glenn took a car ride with Keith to the car park at Angl
