WFV, Staveley NR, nr Knaresborough, 18th April 2023
A group of 8 left Bradford on a fine, dry day to re-visit this delightful reserve. We had last planned to go there in April 2020 ! En route we picked up Margaret at Stone Trough plus Sue & Steve at Pool Bank. A toilet stop was made at the large CP close to Mother Shipton's Cave, Knaresborough.
The reserve CP was surprisingly full & it took a measure of expertise from Julia to manouevre the mini-bus into a space. We later came across several working parties & possibly it was their vehicles that had filled up the parking area. When the sun shone it was most pleasant but each time it clouded over it felt decidedly chilly.
