A huge thank you to Adrian and Joe for helping us out with lifting and grading Sessile Oak trees this week. Adrian at Yorkshire Divide is kindly fundraising for us by organising an epic bike trail of 909km from 25th to 30th May 2024.Source to Sea Trail takes you from the Pennine moors where many of our rivers begin and many miles later onto the Yorkshire coast and then over the Humber Estuary where the rivers flow into the body of the North Sea. And back to the starting line in Hebden Bridge.It's a multi day adventure that takes you to the source of rivers such as the Swale, Ure, Nidd and Esk high on the stunning Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors as well as a fine stretch of coast between Whitby and Scarborough before returning across the Vale of York, over the 5 mile wide Humber Estuary on the worlds longest cycle path on a suspension bridge and many miles later over the edge of the Peak District and the South Pennines. 50% of the funds raised by the event will be donated to Forus TreePlease visit www.yorkshiredivide.co.uk to find out more information.#biketrail #fundraiser #calderdividetrail #yorkshiredales #penninemoors #hebdenbridge #hebden #humberestuary #peakdistrict #northsea #yorkshiredivide #northyorkmoors #whitby #scarborough #valeofyork #southpennines #Swale #ure #nidd #esk ...
