Today we travel to Temple Newsam where we shall leave the minibus and walk through the park, passing beneath the M1, on our way to Skelton Lake. The lake is part of a network of wetlands in the Lower Aire Valley and a haven for birds. A scope will be used so there will be plenty of opportunity for us to see the birds at close quarters. At this time of year expect to see Spring flowers emerging as well as the numerous trees around the site coming into leaf. The walking distance wil be about 4 miles, mostly level, on good paths with perhaps some mud depending on weather conditions on the day of our visit.
Leaders: Sally Tetlow and Robert Waind
