8th February -- Grassington, Yorkshire Dales | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
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 | ||||

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 ... | |||||
