Saturday 16th April - walk and day out in York.

A day out with a difference:

Saturday 16th April - walk and day out in York.
For insurance, and common sense reasons, it is a requirement that people put their names down in advance if they intend to come on a Shamblers walk.

Walk: York City Centre

Date:Saturday 16th April

Start time: Meet 10.45 am

Meeting point: Outside York Train Station

Approx distance: 3 miles ( can be extended by walking along river as far as you wish)

Approx duration: 1 1/2 hours

Route: York City centre including Rover Ouse, City walls, Shambles ( The Shamblers in the Shambles..........), Petergate, Minster etc.....

Terrain: Pavements and pathways.

Parking: I advise Tesco Park and Ride at Askham Bar, A1036. Free to park and about £2.30 return on the exciting bendy-bus into town ( It stops near the station). Post code for satnav/ map: YO24 1LW

Refreshments: Phew - loads from posh nice cafe's to pub lunches or eat your own sarnies on the city walls.

Walk Leaders: Hippiechick, Tiddlywink

Additional information: This is more of a grand day out. After the walk you will be able to take your pick form the activites on offer: shopping, museums, river cruise etc etc.




Car Share: As this is a considerable distance, it will make a lot of sense to car share. I think it would be fair to allow drivers to decide on what contribution they will need as it will depend on how many are in each car. I would think abour £8 per person will be about right though in a car of 4 people ( only my suggestion though) :)
