The Crooked Billet, Saxton + Lunch option - 6.5 miles
Details
This walk/meal is open to Group members who have paid their annual membership fee, therefore no guests are permitted.
A favourite returns!
An easy, pleasant, stroll through gently undulating, low-level countryside, pleasant villages and close to the Battle of Towton that took place in 1461.
We have permission to use the pub’s 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 allow us 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.
AFTER-WALK MEAL: If you would like to reserve a place for lunch, please post a message on this webpage.
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.
