Tramping Over Holmfirth Moss To The Youth Hostel
A Memory of Holmfirth.
I remember a winter walk in early winter 1966 with a group of friends from Manchester YMCA. We took the bus out to the Pennines and went for a wet, misty and boggy walk over the top towards the Holmfirth Youth Hostel. Our feet kept sinking into calf deep squelchy mud and it was tough slow going!
The TV mast appeared out of the mist and helped us to get our bearings! We were so glad to reach the warmth of the YHA where we cooked ourselves supper in the self-caterers' kitchen!
Back in those days the YHA wardens would stamp your membership card to show you had visited their hostel and it was quite fun accumulating a collection of colourful and artistic stamps!
