Micro Event: Three Fryups in One Day
12 people attending
0 places left
Please note the date of this event has changed to 12th July 2020 (was 5th July 2020.) This event was planned before lockdown, but is now instead going ahead as two separate groups of six people, with different leaders, to meet the micro events criteria which have been introduced to help keep us safe during the pandemic. People will be assigned to a group on arrival and start times will be staggered, with the two groups not meeting at any point.
This circular walk takes in two of the North York Moors' more remote dales, in high summer. The walk be about 10-12 miles long, depending on the conditions on the day. We should get stunning moorland views, be accompanied by moorland birds such as lapwing, curlew and sky lark. If we are really lucky we may see hare and deer, as well as the usual sheep and cattle.
All photographs are taken by the leader, and his husband, and permission is granted to OutdoorLads to use them.
Micro Events – IMPORTANT, Please read the following before you sign up to this event:
- Anyone with COVID-19 symptoms, even if they are extremely mild, or who lives or is in a support bubble with someone showing symptoms, is asked not to attend. This is in line with the government’s coronavirus advice.
- All are required to practice social distancing – staying 2m (not 1m) apart at all times, including the lunch stop.
- Please join events within around one hour’s travel from your home, rather than travelling longer distances to get there.
- Unfortunately, there won’t be any planned pub / café stops en route or at the end, and please don’t share sweets or snacks with others – we’re sorry!
- Public transport use to the start point is discouraged, as this is a non-essential journey. No car sharing to the start point unfortunately either.
- Please bring your own hand sanitising gel for your own use throughout the day. Use of face coverings is at your own choice.
- Each person can only attend one OutdoorLads micro event a week. (Leaders to leave at least three days between events they lead.)
- On walks, one person to hold open gates and allow everyone to walk through – so minimising surfaces that multiple people touch.
- Be aware that opportunities for toilet stops may be minimal if facilities are closed.
- Please, please cancel at your earliest opportunity if you are unable to attend or are unwell, so that we can allow others to take up these valuable event spaces.
- Much as it's difficult - no handshakes or hugs!
