	WHERNSIDE ... I'VE DONE IT !!!
	The One Peak Challenge
	On Sunday, 16th April, Jan, Sean, Sue, Tim, Pat & Paul went to Horton-in-Ribblesdale. Incredibly, the sun was shining and there was virtually no mud in sight, so, we decided to tackle a peak! We started at Ribblehead, near the viaduct and walked to the point where the official three peaks walk comes down Whernside and walked the route in reverse. I know that Sean has a reputation for liking to be ‘different’, but there was method in our madness. Walking this way round we climbed up the shorter steep ascent to the summit first, before we were too exhausted, had a packed lunch at the top, and then it was an easy walk downhill to the car. The total walk was 8.2 miles. We started at 11.15 a.m., had several stops on the way up to admire the views (which are great), and for me to get my breath back, and were back at the café at Horton-in-Ribblesdale at 4.45 p.m. This is going to be the one peak challenge for anyone who wants to join me. There could be a slight problem in walking against the flow but I am sure that we will manage. We will probably meet the ‘three peakers’ striding out in the opposite direction! Jan’s mum.

	Pictures from the last test walk
	The last test walk took place on Sunday, starting in the charming little village of Thixendale in the Yorkshire Wolds. For once, the weather was relatively kind - it only snowed once! - and our small team set off to explore the starlingly sinuous dales which cut into the chalk landscape. Paul had planned a small extension to the published walk which took the excursion up from 8 miles to 11.5. The wolds countryside manages some nice undulating sections, so although the last section was relatively flat, everyone was quite glad to see the cars - especially Jan! If you have never been walking around this area I can really recommend it. The only problem was the tiny village pub was shut by the time we got back. Pictures from the last test walk will be posted here soon.
