There is an open invitation to people in the Huddersfield district to join The Samhain Walk. Samhain (pronounced 'sow-in') in late October/early November is an ancient festival marking the beginning of the new year and heralding the start of winter. On Friday, October 31, Kirklees Council Ranger Julian Brown invites people to join him between 1pm and 4pm for a ‘moderate/hard’ six-mile walk on and around Castle Hill above Almondbury, to meet the changing season and accept that winter is on its way. Good footwear, warm clothing and waterproofs are needed by anyone wanting to take part. The Samhain Walk, which will include slopes, rough terrain and stiles, is free but booking is essential by contacting Tolson Museum, Wakefield Road, Huddersfield, tel: 01484-223830. No dogs allowed and children must be accompanied by an adult. For further information call Julian Brown, Castle Hill Ranger, tel: 01484-223830 or email: julian.brown@kirklees.gov.uk Read
