| Walk: | Conistone, Conistone Dib, Bycliffe Road, Kelber Gate, High Barn, Yarnbury, Hebden Beck, Hebden, Dales Way, Linton Falls | ||
| Start Point: | Grassington NP car park | Grid Reference: | SE 002 637 |
| Distance: | 13.2 miles | Ascent: | 1,720 feet |
| Time: | 6 hours | ||
| Weather: | Sunny and mild | ||
| Comments: | Extending a previous walk I also reversed the route done previously so that I would head up Conistone Dib rather than down it. I tried a suggested detour along Old Moor Lane to the dam but found that this extra sec tion wasn't worth following unless the plan was to visit the smelt mill workings. Heading down Hebden Beck I found that it wasn't as picturesque as walking up it - just need to keep looking back! The Dales Way was an easy track to follow and the sun enhanced Linton Falls. | ||

Heading up Conistone Dib . . .
this section is reminiscent of walking out of the Grand Canyon
Loooking back down the path . . .
before climbing up a rocky section . . .
with great views back down the route
From the dam evidence of the smelt mill can be seen . . .
and the dam marks the start of Hebden Beck

I am joined at the gate . . .
by a cheeky little robin . . .
who can't decide . . .
which is his best side
