SUMMARY:Outing: British Museum\, Boston Spa
DESCRIPTION:This visit will allow us to see how the vast stock of the British Library is managed and how the operation at Thorp Arch provides a massive archive facility and supports the main reading room in London. It is a large site and the tour requires about a mile of walking\, with 60 steps up to the viewing platform in the automated warehouse. The tour will last about 75 minutes. \nWe will meet in the reception area at the Library\, with the tour starting at 10.45. Car parking is available on the site and is a short walk from reception. For those who want it\, there is the opportunity to use the canteen facility for a coffee before the tour. \nTo follow the tour\, I have booked a table at the Windmill Inn at Linton for 13.00. We may arrive al little earlier than this but that shouldn’t be a problem. This pub has recently reopened and offers a good menu of classic pub dishes. Conveniently\, it is just 2 or 3 minutes off the direct route back to Harrogate. \n

SUMMARY:Monthly Walk: Knaresborough
DESCRIPTION:With the terrible weather of late I have been looking for a walk where at least some of it will be on good surfaces. Certainly not a time to be heading too far afield. \nPlease meet at 10.00 at the Conyngham Hall car park in Knaresborough\, where parking is £1.50 for 4 hours. The walk is about 3.5 miles with three quarters of the walk on paved surfaces with the remainder on wet/muddy paths and across a field. \nLunch to follow at 1.00 at the Knaresborough Inn. \nPlease let me know if you plan to join either the walk or lunch or both. \nJohn Dixon

SUMMARY:Monthly Walk: Timble Area
DESCRIPTION:Meet at the Timble/Blubberhouses crossroads at 9:45 for a 10:00 start \nWeather and ground conditions have forced a change from the originally-planned walk\, and it will now be a shorter one on stone or gravel paths\, with about a half mile of grassy fields.  Mostly a good walking surface\, although there is one disgusting muddy section of about 200 yards that cannot be avoided\, and it should take less than 2 hours. \nLunch afterwards will still be at the Timble Inn\, but now with a 12:30 start
