Walking the Otley Night Beat (2)

Dudley Nixon will be the guide for a mile and a half walk around parts of Otley, (walking a part of a beat) listening to her telling real life memories of Otley Policemen from an oral history project relating what it was like to walk the Night Beat in the 1950's and then into the 1960's with the advent of radios and cars.

Participants must be able to walk the mile and a half. The speed of the slowest dictates progress and time of walk.

• Good walking shoes needed.
• There are narrow pavements, setts and inclines.
• It is not possible to cross all roads at crossings or lights.
• No place on walk to sit down.
• Could be done in an electric wheelchair.

Numbers are limited so booking is required.

Cost: The price of a cup of coffee etc. in the Courthouse if wanted.

We will be using the u3a audio tour guide system so please bring your own headphones. Any that use a standard 3.5 mm jack plug, often provided with portable music players or mobile phones will work.

Alternatively email John Hancock (octopuss@btinternet.com) before the event to order new headphones at £3 cash payable on the day.
