The Dales Way Revisited

Following a day off, we went walking again. We were staying very close to the route of the Dales Way which you may remember Yorkie and I, along with Gio, walked last September. As this was such a fine walk we were quite eager to revisit a stretch or two, and also to share the delights of the route with our friends, who had missed out first time round.

We picked the stretch each side of Kettlewell to walk and turned it into a circular walk by adding some new stretches of footpath. It was a big climb up to join the high level section into Kettlewell, but we all enjoyed the flattish walking, once we were up, and the great views. 

After Kettlewell we joined the riverside path up to Starbottom. It is a beautiful stretch and very popular with all sorts of walkers. The photo above is a new one, but we're fairly sure we'd posed for the same picture previously.

By the time we'd worked our way back to the bear mobile we'd covered over 15 miles, so we'd had a goodly walk. We'd kind of got used to one way walking and forgotten that you can only go half as far if you have to return as well! Fortunately the weather was good and we had plenty of daylight left.

Lots of love
