Wuthering Hike

Yesterday we posted about Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights song and today, October 28, Haworth will be packed with Kate Bush fans. No, it's not BrontëBlog's influence :P, it's The HomeGround Wuthering Hike 2006. HomeGround is a magazine, published since 1982, enterily devoted to Kate Bush.

The HOMEGROUND team will be up at Top Withins, the legendary site of Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights, from about 13.00 until about 15.00 on Saturday the 28th October 2006. We invite you to meet us up there.

We must stress that this is not a formal event, nothing is arranged, it is not a Convention, and we are not expecting Kate to drop by: Those of you who come can visit Top Withins, meet the rest of us who are mad enough to come on this thing, visit the Bronte Parsonage Museum, and walk the moor that inspired Emily Bronte, all in your own time. If you’ve never been to Haworth, you will never forget it. (...)

WHERE DO YOU MEET US?

Simple. You have to footslog it up to Top Withins on Haworth Moor.

The long hike (about three miles) is signposted from the Bronte Parsonage Museum and goes across the moors via the Bronte Bridge to Top Withins.

The short hike (about a mile) starts at the car parking place shown on the map above and follows the Pennine Way footpath past Lower Heights and Upper Heights to Top Withins.

We look forward to seeing you there. Bring your camera, and your walkman or pod if you have one, and enjoy Kate’s music in its ideal setting.

When we come off the moor we will meet at the Black Bull pub in Main Street Haworth

See you there!
