Looking for something to do on the S&C this month? Here's some ideas for you!
Happy Saturday! All it takes to stand beneath this iconic structure is just a short stroll from Ribblehead station 🚆 #YorkshireDales #Ribblehead
Last Sunday's walk, using the 830 @DalesBus to Hawes, followed the Pennine Way from Hawes over Great Shunner Fell to Muker in Swaledale. The weather was much better than forecast and the views along the route were spectacular.
This Sunday we'll be leaving Ribblehead at 10:36 and taking the @DalesBus to Reeth, walking 10 miles along the River Swale to Muker before return on the bus!. Don't forget your bus fare! foscl.org.uk/guided-walks
On Saturday on our 8 mile walk, we'll be having 'Lunch with Pendragon'! We'll be leaving Kirkby Stephen at 11:05 and will be admiring the views on this leisurely paced circular walk. For further details click here foscl.org.uk/guided-walks
Less than 4 months to Christmas 🎅 🎅 🎄 ☃️ Be ahead of the game and buy your 2025 Christmas cards and 2026 calendars. Click here for more details shop.foscl.org.uk
Our 11 mile walk this Sunday will take us from Hawes to Muker, walk along the glorious Pennine Way from Wensleydale to Swaledale! Leaving Ribblehead at 10:36 and bring some money for the bus fare @DalesBus foscl.org.uk/guided-walks
Saturday's 8 mile 'away day' walk is on the Ribble Valley Line, leaving Ramsgreave at 12.09 and walking to Whalley. **See our website for train info** Website: foscl.org.uk/guided-walks
Thanks very much to @foscl for inviting me to the @GBRailfreight @hd_materialsUK train naming at once more rail-connected Horton Quarry which launches the 150th anniversary year of the S&C. We stopped off at Horton Station on way back to see the cafe we supported with a grant.
Want a practical momento of the S&C? How about a set of 4 wooden coasters or an A5 notebook...they will bring back happy memories of your last journey along the line! shop.foscl.org.uk/bespoke-giftwa… shop.foscl.org.uk/bespoke-giftwa…
We had to stop to admire this summer scene in #Wharfedale - taken this time last year 💚 We hope you're having a great #BankHoliday #Weekend! If you're in or around the #YorkshireDales #NationalPark, then do share your photos with us 🙌 📸 Wendy McDonnell I #MondayMotivation
Saturday's 10.5 mile circular walk will leave from Kirkby Stephen at 9:34 and take in the Smardale Nature Reserve, just one of the highlights we'll see in the area around Kirkby Stephen. foscl.org.uk/guided-walks
Thanks to the train developing a fault, we sadly never made to to Mallerstang Edge 🥲 🥲 . All those years of experience and knowledge our Walk Leaders possess came to the fore as they saved the day with a walk from Gargrave to Skipton 😀 😀 .
Looking for a gift for a loved one or a treat for yourself? Why not buy a copy of the latest book by John Bentley - The Settle-Carlisle LIne. shop.foscl.org.uk/books/the-sett… In this book photographer John Bentley captures the variety of workings to be seen on this line.
The annual Settle Flowerpot Festival is always worth a visit and when combined with a Friends free Guided Walk it's a recipe for a great day out. We took a meandering route through the streets to take in the many brilliant flowerpot creations finishing in the town centre.
Like Jigsaws? Why not visit our shop and purchase a copy of our anniversary jigsaw of Sir Nigel Gresley at Settle Station. shop.foscl.org.uk/150th-annivers… Or enter our jigsaw competiton for 2026!
Ribblehead Viaduct and an hour's worth of star trails. @yorkshire_dales @skyatnightmag @foscl @setcarrailway
Sir Nigel Gresley crossing Arten Gill Viaduct #steamtrain #steamsunday @SettleCarlisle
It's not a @yorkshire_dales competition but today's @foscl flower pot walk would showcase well with @Scarecrowsfest 🙇♂️
@yorkshire_dales @foscl @Scarecrowsfest #HarryPotter was my fave but so many to choose from 👏
