DETAILS:
This month our guest speaker is Janet Niepokojczycka. She will be talking about “Pack Horse Days & Pack Horse Ways”
Many of us in Whitworth have a little knowledge of the pack-horse trails which pass over the moorland surrounding the valley and particularly of our ‘own’ Mary Alice Hartley, better known as Ailse o’Fussers. Janet has studied the subject of pack-horse transport, its customs and traditions in some depth. Saddle up and come along.
