YORKIEBOYS YORKSHIRE HIKES
YORKIEBOYS YORKSHIRE HIKESThe Twenty-Second of our "Hubberton Hikers Hikes" is now scheduled for Saturday October 23rd 2004. The hike is planned to start at 11am from the Maypole on the main street in Barwick in Elmet (a few miles East of Leeds, near M1 J46/47). Roadside parking is available in Barwick in Elmet near to the Maypole. The hike is approximately 7.5/8 miles long and will take about 3.5 to 4 hours at a gentle pace.

The walk will be in the region of 7/8 miles and will start from the Maypole,
which is the tallest Maypole in the country and is situated on the Main Street
in Barwick in Elmet. Some people may find parking in Barwick, but it may be
useful to know that a meal and DRINKS will be taken in the Gascoigne Arms in
the centre of the village after the hike. Parking may be available here! The
Walk will then amble along the main street towards Scholes. After 138 metres
a right turn is taken into Carrfield Road. Where the metalled road ends,
continue straight ahead on a track, which soon becomes a field-edge path.
From here we follow the path straight ahead to the out skirts of Scholes.
When the main road is met we bear left for about 91 metres to take a road right,
signed Leeds. We cross the road and follow a bridleway ahead. We skirt a
golf course (crossing 2 fairways) and go through a farmyard and enter the
Parlington Estate. Another farm is skirted before we arrive at a Gamekeepers
Cottage. We continue ahead on the path taking in the breathtaking scenery of
Yorkshire. We then head back toward Barwick in Elmet through Potterton Hall.
Please ENJOY your walk.
