A walk and talk led by Catherine Mason from the Yorkshire Dales Rivers Trust. With lovely views of upper Wensleydale throughout, we visit Burtersett and Gayle then follow Widdale Beck downstream to Appersett before crossing the Ure and a gentle ascent to Hardraw, and back to Hawes.  Enjoy spotting beautiful fauna and flora and discovering some interesting river facts along the way, including finding out about the Trust’s Natural Flood Management project work in the area. There will be an optional free tour of the Rivers4Life summer exhibition at the Dales Countryside Museum on our return. This is generally a moderate walk, with short stretches of road walking mainly on minor roads, several stiles, some narrow and uneven paths and a few gentle climbs.

Our walk follows parts of the original route of the Stockton and Darlington Railway from Shildon, where Locomotion No1 set off for Stockton in 1825. Starting at the aptly named railway museum ‘Locomotion’ it traces the route along a recently refreshed track to Brussleton Winding House. Here wagons were pulled up the hill from West Auckland, and then lowered to Shildon, before being steam hauled eastwards. Information boards are sited along the route detailing its history. We descend to join the Roman Dere Street, and a refreshment stop at Broom Mill Farm Cafe. A road walk takes us to a bus service (bring your pass if you have one) back to Shildon and ‘Locomotion’. The museum complex (free admission) may then be explored at leisure.

We cross the bridge and then go up into Richmond and back to the starting point.

Tony Rossiter is a former diplomat, civil servant and international consultant. His talk will focus on his time as a young diplomat in the late sixties and early seventies. In Moscow during the Cold War, Western diplomats were kept under surveillance and their flats were bugged. In Karachi, during the Indo-Pakistan war of 1971, bomb blasts shook the walls of Tony’s bungalow before women and children were belatedly evacuated. Transferred to Buenos Aires, he arrived shortly after Perón’s reinstatement as President, when the Montoneros urban guerrillas were stepping up terrorist attacks against Western targets. Tony’s book is a behind-the-scenes look at the life of a junior diplomat who had a ringside seat at three critical chapters of twentieth-century history.

In 2011, a wolf named Slavc set out from Slovenia, travelling through the Alps to Northern Italy, where he crossed paths with a female wolf in a region that had been without wolves for a century. A decade later, more than a hundred wolves are back in the area, the result of their meeting. In Lone Wolf, Weymouth walks Slavc's path, examining changes facing these wild corners of Europe, where re-wilding meets cultural preservation and climate change is reshaping lives.
