My mate Dave couldn’t make the party on Saturday, so he came across on Monday. The weather forecast wasn’t great, but we were determined to go out for a walk. So we chose a relatively low level route over to Kettlewell in Wharfedale. From there, we went along a section of the Dales Way to Starbotton before returning over the top to Arncliffe and then Litton (the same way as I’d been the day before). In the event we only got caught in a couple of short, sharp showers, so it turned out to be an excellent walk.
Heavy overnight rain had swelled the rivers by a good 2 feet (60 cm). The footbridge, (seen in pic 3 yesterday), was nearly under water and the stepping stones, (in pic 15 yesterday and 31 below), as well as the ford where we cleaned out boots (pic 17 yesterday) were under water!

I love Kettlewell at Scarecrow time. I’d enjoy this walk, Mike.

Scarecrow time? When’s that? Can’t say I’ve ever heard of that. It was a nice walk though.😊👍

No? they have a wonderful Scarecrow Festival, sometime in May or June. I should look back in the old blog for confirmation.

How wonderful. Some fabulous scarecrows in there and lovely photos/memories! (I also find my blog comes in handy as an aide memoire! I often look back to see when we did something, so it’s a great pictorial diary of my retirement and life in general!) 😊👍👍

Thank you Mélodie. I’m glad you liked them. And, by pure chance, I’ve just posted some more photos of another walk that I did later in the week. 👍😊
