I’m doing the James Herriot Youth Hostel Walk this weekend!
If you have read ‘James Herriots Yorkshire’ then you will recall this walk that he describes so avidly in this wonderful book. If you haven’t, t then now is the time to do so! The walk covers 50 or so miles and I will re-trace his EXACT steps from over 60 years ago. Day 1 = Leyburn to Aysgarth. Day 2 = Aysgarth to Keld, Day 3 = Keld to Grinton, Day 4 = Grinton to Leyburn. I will post on here each day with some ‘then and now’ pics. Alf Wight wrote the book to provide a ‘window’ into his Yorkshire for people that wanted to see the places he wrote about. I hope, in a very small way, to add to that effort. Keep a look out for my posts on Fri/Sat/Sun/Mon and come with me to ‘James Herriots Yorkshire’ !
