This promises to be a grand day out, more of an Amble than a Ramble I am informed. We meet up after a drive to Skirethorn Lane, which is left after the Spar store at Threshfield nr Grassington, on the B6160. Follow the signs to Wood Nook caravan site, and park near quarry gates. Here we will meet at 11.00am for our walk with no stiles and very good paths. Note later start due to travel distance.
