Roseberry Topping and Helmsley/Rievaulx - May 2015 - Part 1


This Trek had the alternative title of the John Finn Memorial Trek, as it was the first one since the passing of our friend and former colleague, John. To "absent friends" - as they say.

It took place on Friday and Saturday the 15th and 16th of May 2015. The Friday Walk was to be to Roseberry Topping from the village of Great Ayton. We met in the village centre and set off from there.

Here are some photos from the days walk.  (More to come)













John Finn was there with us, if not in person, then in spirit. (Look at the registration)

John Finn

John passed away in January 2015.

Here are a few photos of the good times we shared with him
