It was April 2009 when we last visited these two areas so we are due for another visit. At West Tanfield we should see some early Spring flowers, including Yellow Star of Bethlehem. We will investigate both banks of the River Ure, where there are paths; the distance is not very far. Parking is in the village car park. Nosterfield Gravel Pits are a short distance away by minibus. Here we can expect to see birds on the lake and the hedgerows, as well as Spring flowers. Binoculars and telescopes would be useful. Toilets will be accessed en route.
Leaders: Joan Dobson, Margaret Rees.
