Dalby Forrest (Lockton) Weekend
For
the late May Bank Holiday this year, 20 of the group went to stay at
Dalby Forrest Youth Hostel.
The weather was a bit mixed but that was
more than made up for by the convivial evenings spent in the hostel.>
On Saturday our walk took us round the track of the Rosedale
Railway. Although the weather was fair to start with, rain came in
towards lunchtime. Just as we got sight of the Lion Inn, low cloud
descended and we were rather alarmed to see the pub disappear.
Sundays walk was to the Hole of Horcum and the Bridestones. After
climbing up to the edge of the Hole of Horcum, we felt an ice cream was
in order, unfortunately, this was a cue for the rain to start again.
Fortunately it only lasted for about 1½ hours and several of us were
able to enjoy a drink outside at the pub before returning to the hostel.
The evenings were spent playing games with a singsong on the final night, superbly conducted by John Gregorolli.
A most enjoyable weekend with excellent company.
