THE Spring Equinox is nigh and Castle Hill ranger Julian Brown is inviting people to join him on a walk to enjoy the first day of spring on Castle Hill and take in the magnificent views from and towards the Huddersfield landmark.

The ‘moderate/hard’ walk, on Sunday, March 20, will be around six miles. It will start at 1.30pm and last around three hours.

Walkers should meet in the car park at the top of the hill and should wear good footwear and warm waterproof clothing. There will be slopes, rough terrain and a number of stiles on the walk. No dogs, except assistance dogs, allowed.

To book a place on this free walk, contact Julian, tel: 07968 426312, or email: julian.brown@kirklees.gov.uk
