1. Some of the twenty eight
members pose for the Group photo on the slopes of Winder Fell above
Sedbergh, Cumbria (Yorkshire Dales National Park). |
|
 |
|
2. We enjoy a refreshment
break before climbing Cautley Spout. |
|
 |
|
3. Up the valley towards the
Spout and highest point of the fells, The Calf (2,220 feet). |
|
 |
|
4. Cautley Spout. Can you see
the path up by the falls? |
|
 |
|
5. Cautley Spout. Pause for
admiration and wonderment before the ascent. |
|
 |
|
6. Up we go - to the top!
|
|
 |
|
7. Amazing scenery. 600 feet
of waterfalls. And when we got to the top there was the view. Wainwright
called it the best viewpoint in England, encompassing the outline of the
Lake District, the Three Peaks of Yorkshire and the sun glinting on
Morecambe Bay. |
|
 |
|
8. From Sedbergh we walked
over Frostrow Fell to Dent. Note the Howgill Fells in the background. |
|
 |
|
9. Walking into Dentdale
though the farm that supposedly inspired Wuthering Heights. |
|
 |
|
10. A giant step for
mankind... especially Tracey. |
|
 |
|
11. Walking into Dent village
for a midday stop, and perhaps a pint of the local ale (one is enough!) |
|
 |
|
12. Yes, another
photo-opportunity! Just the right size for the group. |
|
 |
|
13. Brian negotiates a stone
squeeze stile, complete with gate. The farmers take no chances! |
|
 |
|
14. Back before it rains
overnight. Tomorrow is another day (sunny in fact). |
|
 |
|
15. And we had lovely
sunshine at some time each day throughout the holiday! |
