MARFIELD WETLANDS WALK - Thursday 16th January
|
|
Delayed by a week due to a heavy fall of snow, just five walkers arrived at the car park for the Marfield Wetlands Nature Reserve. Anxious to get started, they left at pace |
|
Cunningly the walkers made a small detour to locate a bridge and pose for a group photo |
 |
|
|
DISASTER OCCURED - when the walkers found their route flooded, as it followed the swollen River Burn. Despite heroic attempts by the walkers to proceed, they found it necessary to return to the Golf Course and divert along the road towards Masham, before rejoining the river by Low Burn Bridge |
| Following the 'Ripon Rowel' route, the walkers soon arrived in the Marker Place at Masham, where they quickly made their way to the White Bear Hotel for a well deserved lunch with suffucient Theakstons Best Bitter |
 |
|
|
The route back to the cars took the walkers though the Nature Reserve |
