The Crooked Billet, Saxton + LUNCH OPTION (see details below) - 6.5 miles

PLEASE NOTE EARLIER START TIME.

Gently undulating, low-level countryside to wander through, pleasant villages and close to the Battle of Towton that took place in 1461.

We have permission to use the pub’s overflow car park and the pub just happens to have a long-standing reputation for excellent grub, most notably its giant Yorkshire puds! The pub is situated within a geographical triangle comprising Tadcaster, Sherburn-in-Elmet & Garforth. The pub itself sits directly on the B1217 in an isolated position away from the village of Saxton. The postcode is LS24 9QN.

Parking: please park in the overflow car park. Drive through the main car park to the grassy/gravel area at the back and please park considerately so we can pack the cars in! Mobile phone reception can be dodgy in this area. If you arrive early enough, the pub should be open to use the facilities.

The walk will be led at a steady pace: not too fast, not too slow. Please be ready to start walking at the advertised time.

Walk fee: £3. No dogs please. Bring drink/snacks with you for a short morning break.

LUNCH OPTION: A booking has been made for 16 people at 1pm for a hearty lunch! If you would like to reserve a lunch spot, please post a message on this webpage. The lunch option is open to members who have paid their annual membership fee.

I have no formal walk leader or first-aid qualifications and the Group does not have insurance. When you RSVP for any walk, you accept that you remain responsible for your own safety at all times. You are required to respect the walk leader and be mindful of the safety of others. Please keep to the pace of the group and don’t go off ahead even if you think you know the route.
