News - NewsNext Dalesway WalkSunday 28 August 2011
Next Dales Way Association walk. The Dales Way Association will organise a walk in early to mid October this year. The route will be the Bradford to Ilkley link. Public transport is available at both ends. More information will appear on this web page nearer the date and also in the Autumn Newsletter. Bradford Dales Way Link walk Saturday 15 October 2011. 10.00 a.m. Cathedral Gates, Bradford Forster Square; 12.30 p.m. Victoria Hall, Saltaire. Members of the DWA are invited to join a walk on the Bradford Dales Way Link, from Bradford City Centre via Saltaire to Ilkley. This
is a full day’s walk of 13 miles (20 km), moderately strenuous, with an
option to join the walk at Saltaire for the second part only. The
first part is a mixture of gritty, urban, inner-city walking with some
surprising green corridors, following the line of Bradford Beck via
Bolton Woods to Shipley, joining the Leeds-Liverpool canal at Shipley
and on to Saltaire. Distance: 5½ miles. The
second part climbs steeply up through the rural outskirts of Saltaire
on a high-level traverse of Rombalds Moor, finishing with a steep rocky
descent from Ilkley Moor to into Ilkley. Distance: 7½ miles. Meet
for the full days walk at the Bradford Cathedral gates at Forster
Square, Bradford, at 9.50 a.m. for a prompt start at 10 a.m. (It is a 10
minute walk from Bradford Forster Square railway station – Leave the
front of the station and head east for Valley Rd, turning right to pass
the Postal Sorting Office and crossing to Forster Square, to the gates
near to the gent’s barbers at the bottom of Bolton Rd.) Meet
for the second part of the walk at Victoria Hall, Saltaire, 12.20 p.m.
for a prompt 12.30 p.m. start. (It’s a 5 minute walk up from Saltaire
railway station to Victoria Hall – the large hall guarded by lions.) We
will be joined by Friends of A Dales High Way, who are walking the first section of that walk from Saltaire to Ilkley, as the two routes are very similar. We will retire to the Bar t’at pub in Ilkley where food and drinks can be purchased. ********************************* A very good detailed guide to the Bradford Dales Way Link route can be found on the Bradford Council website at: www.bradford.gov.uk/NR/rdonlyres/E6F66725-DAC6-48A6-A42D-0B0881416696/0/DaleswayLinkBRADFORDILKLEY.pdf An interactive map of the Dales Way route, including the three Link routes, can be found on the Skyware website at: www.skyware.co.uk/dalesway/maps.htm An interactive map of the route of A Dales High Way can be found at: www.daleshighway.co.uk/detailed_route.htm |
