Continue reading →: Dales Way & Day 3We woke up at the Kettlewell youth hostel feeling rested after a great night’s sleep. They fed us an amazing English breakfast and then we packed up and set off on our days walk which was 11 miles to Nethergill Farm just outside Oughtershaw. Not long into our walk we…

Continue reading →: Dales Way – Day 2We woke up to rain, oh so very much rain. It started about 2 in the morning and was very heavy. I think if it had just been the rain it would have been ok, but there was wind as well. I’d not clipped the storm tensioners on the tent…

We started off our walk in Baildon, passing past Tong Park dam where there was an amazing nesting swan. The walk continues…

Continue reading →: Six Dales Trail Final DayAnd what a perfect weather day it was as well. We started the day leaving Leighton reservoir behind us following a path through some farm land, dropping down to a plantation and then to a stream with a little bridge over it.
