from which they descended to the r o a d . ........ They then went via field and woodland paths to


Pat'Parrott, took a high level route1 from near‘Black Moss Reservoir to .Whitehough. A wooded path then took them to Intake Farm,


Newchurch, pausing en route to admire the view over Dimpenley valley, with Blacko Tower clearly visible. A plague of flying ants prevented the group from having a well-deserved rest, and the walkers con­ tinued hurriedly through Higher Narrowgates down to lower ground and the track which brought them down to the banks of Whitehough Water, which they fol­ lowed back to Barley. The ramblers were out again on Saturday for a


guided tour of Ilkley Moor, lea by Gill Johnston. They visited the Swastika Stone, which is believed


by some to be a Bronze Age symbol of eternal life. An early lunch break was enjoyed at East Buck Stones on


the summit ridge of the moor, and the height and a moderate breeze made the scorching day seem very pleasant. They then visited Whetstone Gate, Ashlar Chair and the Twelve Apostles, a stone circle about which


very little is known. The extreme heat made party members very thirsty,


so they had a change of route to include Hqmcliffe Wells, where drink bottles were refilled with icy cold spring water. Climbing back over Burley Moor, the wind dropped, making conditions very sticky, so another break was welcomed beside Lower Lanshaw Dam, before dropping down to join the Ebor Way, which took them past the Cow and Calf Rocks and Ilkley Tam, back to their waiting cars.


Walk of seven to eight miles, starting in Horton-in- Ribblesdale, the heart of the Three Peaks country. Anyone wishing to join the group for this excursion should ring Andrea Marsh, tel. 01200 24563, for further information.
