Hubberton Hike - Ilkley


YORKIEBOYS YORKSHIRE HIKES

The Twentieth of our “Hubberton Hikers Hikes” is now scheduled for Saturday August 21st 2004. The hike is planned to start at 11am from the car park at the Cow and Calf Pub/Hotel just outside Ilkley. The hike is approximately 10/12 miles long and will take about 4.5 to 5 hours at a gentle pace. It is planned to have a light lunch on the Way at Dick Hudson’s public house.

The walk will be in the region of 10/12 miles and will start from the Cow and Calf hotel car park. The Walk will then amble along on and upwards toward pancake stone where we will take in the breathtaking scenery of Yorkshire. We then head Right along the ridge passing Haystack rock where we deviate left running in parallel with Backstone Beck. At the top we meet the Dales Way link path. Turning left here we continue along passing the boundary stone until we reach a ring of stones known as The Twelve Apostles. We then continue aling this path until Dick Hudsons is reached where a light lunch will be taken. We then walk along the lane for a short spell before re-joining the footpath. We follow the twisting climbing path making our way back toward the Cow and Calf rocks where we descend the path back to the Car Park. Please ENJOY your walk.
