Lovely sunny day for most, but cold on the higher ground and in the mist |
The C walk |
Across the fields to Hebden then.. | ..across the famous suspension bridge |
A bit of a climb | |
Lunch stop.. | ..with sandwich-loving sheep |
Gathering mist | didn't last long |
| |
| Back across the Wharf towards Grassington |
Clockwise B walk |
"Into the woods" | Lunch at Bare House |
Mike tries some cross-dressing |
Anticlockwise B |
Misty morning hills |
Linton Falls | |
Up Hebden Beck and up the hill | onto Edge Top |
Through the old mine workings | as the mist rolled in |
| joining the other B group at Bare House |
Across the moor | |
towards | Conistone Dib |
View from Dib towards Conistone | |
Green carpet along the Dales Way | And mist |
gathers again | in the evening sun |
The A walkers were dropped off at the Craven Heifer. The way over the fells back to Grassington was longer and colder than expected. Phil took his fish-eye lens... |
Things start off | crisp and sunny |
Happy Days |
Blue sky all round | Up above the clouds |
stiles | are gaily | leapt over |
The first summit - still bright | Hang on, what's that rollng in! |
Other groups just have sweeties, A's have Carol's scrummy cake | It's a cakewalk! |
Nancy shows off her proper cup | Gorgeous weather, we are lucky! |
Where's the Sun gone! |
Alan acts his age | Misy mountain top DSC01403 |
Craco Fell War Memorial | Over the top |
Now it's actually snowing! | Helen makes a break for it |
|
Snow Ninjas | It's late when the Wharfe is finally reached |
Crossing on the wobbly bridge | Linton Falls at last - nearly there! |
And finally ... |
