This month we have organised something very special. In conjunction with the Festival of British Archaeology, a celebration of the history on our doorstep, we are holding a day dedicated to the Pannierman Way the stone trod which runs down from Cold Moor toward the top of Hill Road Kirby. On Thursday July 22nd at 10 am we will meet with coffee initially the Church Hall at Kirby. We have engaged the services of Chris Evans, author of the recently published work 'Trods of the North Yorks Moors'. Chris will talk about stone trods in general and give his expert view about the origins of our own 'Pannierman Way'. There will also be an opportunity to see some panniers borrowed from Beamish and used to carry goods in just the way they were in times past. At around 11.30 all those who wish will transfer to the top of Hill Road where we hope to do some conservation work on the Trod. There is a plan to picnic in the vicinity or if the vagaries of our English summer dictate, this can be taken in the Church Hall.

       The committee have worked hard to bring about this special day and we hope that you will find the time to join us.If you cant make the whole session do try to come along to the talk- it's free, its fun and you will leave wiser- how good is that.
