8-10 mile circular walk from Burnsall to Grimwith Reservoir. Leaving the river quite early we go up onto the moors towards the reservoir. Depending on the time we can add an extra 1½ miles to go around the reservoir before we descend back down to the river Wharfe. Following the river for a while back into Burnsall. Lovely on a nice spring day.
Meeting Place and Time: Burnsall Village Green Bus Stop – 11:30. the '800' bus arrives here from Leeds at 11:15 so we wait for this bus if it is late. (We're waiting until April as this is when the summer bus service starts to Burnsall from Leeds). Leaves Leeds Bus Station 10am. Paid to park in Burnsall, probably £3 or something, try car sharing via the message board. Email Sarah to get her mobile for contact incase any oif us are delayed etc. The return bus from burnsall is at 17:35 and there are decent pubs selling real ale there if you have to wait... who would have thought....
