Fourteen ramblers set off from Hade Edge, a small village in West Yorkshire, on a wet October day. Fortunately, the rain stopped shortly after the start of the walk to be followed by excellent visibility with warm sunny weather.

The walkers headed downhill past Holme Styes Reservoir making their way towards Holmfirth for lunch. Holmfirth is located in the picturesque Holme Valley and is famous for its association with the BBC sitcom ‘Last of the Summer Wine’. A stop was made at St John’s church where Bill Owen, who played Compo, is buried next to Peter Sallis, who played Cleggy in the series.

After lunch it was uphill back to the start of this 10-mile walk. Along the way, the group enjoyed panoramic views of the Holme Valley, a region known for its rolling hills and scenic beauty. The weather held, making for a pleasant and invigorating walk through this historically rich landscape on a fabulous autumnal day.

Thanks to Martin for leading this walk.
