To continue our festive tradition, we are planning to host a “B’twixt Christmas and New Year” local walk once again. The walk will help us to burn off the Christmas excesses and will be on Saturday 28th December and start from the Ivanhoe car park at 9.30am. We make our way over fields to Marr where we will have a coffee stop in the Church park and then head through Melton Woods to High Melton and Cadeby, where hopefully we’ll be able to have a festive drink at The Cadeby Inn. Our walk back to Sprotbrough will be a quiet track and then through pasture land and return to The Ivanhoe. We are hoping to get permission to park at The Ivanhoe and as a thank you it would be nice to acknowledge their kindness by popping in for a drink when we get back. Please note that this walk is likely to be muddy and appropriate walking boots and clothing are a must. The walk will be around 9 miles and all are welcome, NO NEED TO BOOK Charles will be our leader on this walk. Hope you will be able to join us.

It with sadness that we report the death of Michael Farka who passed away peacefully at the end of November. Michael was well known to many of our members. although he primarily walked with Doncaster HF. Michael was an occasional walker with Pathfinders and joined us on several of our weekends away, he had been a regular walker and leader until lockdown. See the HF website ( https://doncasterhframblingclub.org.uk/michael-farka/ ) to see a tribute. Michaels funeral will be held at the Barnby Dun crematorium (DN3 1DL) on Monday 16th December at 10:00 followed by a get together at the Glasshouse in Kirk Sandal (DN3 1HP)

We have now reached capacity for the Christmas walk and so no more bookings can be taken. Due o unprecedented demand, we have requested a bigger bus and final numbers have been passed to the restaurant. Please note, it is a 9:00 start from Doncaster, full details of the walks can be found from the walks program page.
