DESCRIPTION:Sunday 24th March 11.30 a.m. Join Rob for this 5 mile walk around Old Farnley with Packhorse paths and beckside trails.\nMeet at the car park in Farnley Hall Park\, Hall Lane\, Farnley\, Leeds\, LS12 5HA. \nThe walk takes us through the Park by good paths to New Farnley and Upper Moor Side\, then along Tong Beck and Pudsey Beck to Troydale. A short but steep climb through the woods takes us up to the Beulah Inn\, a licensed cafe/pub with a good range of drinks and meals. From the pub it is a 10 minute walk back along Hall Lane to the Park. The walk is 5 miles long with mostly good flat paths\, some of which are clearly ancient pack-horse routes\, but there are a couple of quite steep woodland descents and ascents to and from the beck-side paths. \nApart from wonderful countryside a stone’s throw from Leeds\, we will pass by an old Lancasterian schoolroom founded in 1813 by Quaker educationalist\, Joseph Lancaster. Lancaster was an early innovator in public education and\, although a rigid disciplinarian\, was very unusual for his time in being opposed to corporal punishment of children. Accordingly I felt that “Schooldays” could be a poetry theme. An alternative could be “Becks”. There are no toilets at the start of the walk (apart from those provided by nature) but the Woodcock Inn\, 2 miles into the walk at Upper Moor Side has toilets that can be accessed\, discreetly\, without going through the pub.\nPublic transport: bus no 42 runs every 15 minutes on a Sunday and I intend to catch one from stop P4 at City Square (bottom of Park Row) at 10.42. Alight at the terminus at Old Farnley Village Green at 11.04 . This is 10 mins walk from the rendezvous at Farley Hall Park. To reach the Park cross from the bus terminus towards the Village Green and into Cross Lane\, bearing left after 3 or 4 minutes into Hall Lane. A couple of minutes later the Park’s main entrance will appear on the left and the car park is clearly visible. Anyone catching the later bus from Leeds at 10.57 (arr. Old Farnley 11.19) and following these directions should also get there just in time. Bus no 15 also goes to Old Farnley but takes at least 10 mins longer and only runs hourly\, so not recommended. However if you get one at 10.45 that may just get you to the rendezvous in time.\nBring suitable outdoor gear\, water and packed lunch. Further details: Rob 0113 216 449.

We will start and end at the Car Park on Fink Hill (LS18 5DX)\, opposite the bottom of Horsforth Town Street. There are numerous ways to get there by public transport but the simplest is the number 50 bus from Leeds City Centre – picking up\, for example\, opposite Leeds Art Gallery at 10.23 – and due at the terminus at the bottom of Horsforth Town Street at 11.00. Rob plans to join this bus part way along Burley Road at 10.37 in order to arrive in good time. \nBuses 33\, 34\, 757 can be picked up on Wellington Street near the railway station and all stop at the bottom of Fink Hill on Horsforth New Road Side\, with a 7 minute walk up Fink Hill to the Car Park – but there are far too many to detail them all. Use the West Yorkshire Metro Journey Planner at http://planner.wymetro.com/lts/#/travelInfo  to find the best way from your own postcode  to arrive at  LS18 5DX in good time to set off on the walk at 11.30. There are public toilets in Hall Park but they are unlikely to be open\, so you’d be safer to arrive early enough to walk 150 yards up  Town Street to Morrison’s supermarket (open 10 a.m. on Sundays).  The walk takes in riverside\, woodland  and many ancient ginnels and footpaths. A few of the paths may be very muddy at this time of year\, but most are easy going. There are a couple of longish uphill stretches. Wear suitable outdoor clothing\, bring water and a packed lunch.\nWe should arrive back in Horsforth before 3 p.m. and there are numerous pubs and cafes in Town Street. I personally recommend the Town Street Tavern.Suitable poetry themes could be Winter or perhaps more optimistically\, New Beginnings.  More information from Rob 01132164492 \n  URL:https://leedscombinedarts.org.uk/event/lca-walk-horsforth-rawdon-circular/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
