		Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 5
		Wednesday's walk led upwards between stone walls to Weets Cross and Calton Moor. A fine raised path had been constructed to keep the boots clear of marshy ground. A highlight of the day was the visit to a splendid farm shop and cafe at Airton.
		Along the River Aire for a short way .
		We now turn away from the river past a field barn .
		And near woods .
		This is the life .
		Janet's Foss woods belongs to the National Trust .
		Where there is a peculiar custom of driving coins into tree stumps .
		Is Linda inserting one or trying to remove it? .
		The gorge leads to .
		The foss (or waterfall) .
		Up the rocky path for a better view .
		A bit cold for a swim, and not advised .
		A dipper (right) perched on the tufa formed at the waterfall .
		We emerge onto the road near Goredale Scar (we are saving this up for the last day) .
		Up the hill we go for about a mile .
		With ever improving views .
		Don't do it, Brian! .
		Not far to Weets Top now .
		But very draughty, so much so we all put the layers on .
		No doubt about where to go, a causeway having been constructed across the soggy Calton Moor .
		We meet up with .
		Two men and their dog, doing the walk in the opposite direction .
		Patrick films the group, hoping for some drama at the water, but no such luck .
		The sun comes out .
		Yes, it's definitely shining .
		But soon disappears again, never to return this day. We descend to the shelter of the valley where we eat a smallish lunch .
		Having travelled quite a way to Calton village .
		Nosey ramblers .
		Discovering an interesting cottage .
		Down to the river bank at Airton .
		Passing a converted mill .
	Over the bridge to part two of our lunch at Townend Farm ... .

	Others admire the interesting selection of beers .

	After this Maurice and Kathy leave us for a spot of ornithology .
	Whilst the rest of us head upstream towards Malham .
	Guess what, we meet two men and a dog again, still going in the opposite direction! .
	Hanlith Hall .
	Mature trees by the river .
	We cross to the left bank .
	And catch a distant view of the house that Bill Bryson used to live in .

	Where Jim is on gate duty .
	Thank you my man. In the distance is the creeper covered Buck Inn, where in the evening ... .
