Scroll down to see photos of the walk
Booting up in the car park . . .
before crossing the bridge over Dowber Gill Beck
Ray battles with his umbrella as we ascend over the moor
The rain has cleared by the time we stop for our morning break
Fortunately the peat bog is not too wet
The stone cross with fragments of aircraft parts embedded in its
concrete base
It's quite busy at the summit . . .
of Buckden Pike
A clear path leads us down . . .
into Wharfedale
An ideal spot for lunch
Ascending the opposite side of the valley . . .
there are good views back across to Buckden Pike
Once on the ridge Pen-y-Ghent comes into view
The group gathers at the summit of Old Cote Moor Top
Descending to Kettlewell . . .
we navigate through . . .
a narrow gully
Crossing New Bridge back into Kettlewell
