Tea Talk with The Hiking Seniors

A fleeting view of an almost hidden footpath sign on the edge of the market town of Pickering enticed us to explore what may lie beyond. What lay beyond was a hidden gem - Costa Beck - the most Northerly Chalk Stream in...

The annual Rosedale Show was upon us, not entering our award winning Victoria Sandwich or Six Shortbread Fingers this year, but still an event in the diary. The route from Lastingham to Rosedale is quite benign on a...

A meeting with friends at The Yorkshire Arboretum gave us the incentive to visit Castle Howard, (which is just over the road) and do a walk around the impressive and foreboding Howard family Mausoleum. We gained...

A journey to West Yorkshire saw us visit the National Trust's Nostell (once Nostell Priory...). Built for the Winn family in the 18th century, the house showcases interiors by Robert Adam and a world-class Thomas...

A walk we love with a destination steeped in history - Cawthorn Roman Camp.

Our favourite walk of the year (so far...). Great weather, new territory, open fields, woodland, canal, 'Houdini' hens, England winning (quarter final) - all rounded off with a spectacular Bangladeshi curry.

Best laid plans and all that...! A review of our walk taking in Pockley but NOT Helmsley due to an impassable ford and an encounter with a fantastically friendly farmer.

Our usual brew and a chat looking at a walk we'll be doing, this time incorporating the beautiful old village of Pockley with its numerous thatched cottages. Taking in the Tabular HIll route through woodland and beside...
