BBC Radio 4 - Ramblings, Series 36, The Nidderdale Way: Gouthwaite to Bewerley

Clare Balding sets out on the third section of the Nidderdale Way, a 53-mile circular walk

Clare Balding embarks on the third leg of the Nidderdale Way. In this episode she walks in the company of Robin Hermes and Simon Dunn, two self-styled grumpy old men.

Clare Balding is walking the whole of The Nidderdale Way, a circular fifty three mile walking route in North Yorkshire. In this edition she walks from Heathfield to Bewerley in the company of Robin Hermes and Simon Dunn, two self-styled, grumpy old men. They have been walking together, along with their friend Richard, every month for over thirty-five years and this is the first time they've actually invited anyone to join them. The Ramblings team don't make the most auspicious start by being several minutes late, a sin Robin holds against them right until the end when the joys of the afternoon allow him to forgive and forget!
This section of the walk takes in the site of the disused lead mines at Ashfold Side Beck. Robin and Simon discuss their walking history with Clare, their favourite and least favourite routes and how they score the perfect walk.
The route can be found on OS Explorer 298
