27^th  October 2026     Reminders & Future Programme

First, if you have not done so, please confirm with Jean (07967 640383) if you are joining us for the Boghoppers 50^th anniversary meal at the Red Bear on the 14^th November.

Second,  our next walk is on 15^th November and is a combined A & B walk of 8 miles led by Mick Craven.  This is a ‘cars only’ walk and we will meet at 10 am in Lime Pit Lane, Stanley, WF3 4DF where there is on-street parking available.  Please let Mick know if you are coming (07733534198).

The following ‘cars only’ walk is on the 6^th December.   I will be leading a walk of about 8 miles from Hungate Lane.  Hungate Lane (LS26 9DT) is just off Newmarket Lane near Methley Lanes where there is on street parking in the part of the lane that runs parallel to the M62.  We will meet for 10 am and I would be grateful if you would let me know if you are coming.  About half way through the walk we will pass the Rivers Meet Café and have an opportunity for a drink and possibly a cake!

I would welcome offers to lead the next 2 cars only AB combined walks on the 17^th January and 14^th February.

12^th October

Please find a list of proposed dates for the Boghoppers programme for 2027 on the club website.  Please put the 1^st March in your diaries for the AGM.  I have followed the usual pattern of the coach supported walks being every third week and have included roughly the same number of walks as we have had in 2026.

I would value feedback on the dates and, in particular, the question of when we recommence using a coach.  The 4^th of April may be a bit late (it is the first Sunday after the clocks have gone forward).  Should we restart on the 14^th March?

In 2026 our first coach supported walk was on 22^nd March.  (we could have the first coach supported walk on 21^st March but the revised dates for the rest of the first half of the year would fall on 3 Sundays when I am away!).
