I did it in 2010. Excellent route - highly recommended.<br />--------------------------<br />Gimmer - There is obviously something intangible and subjective attached to each person's appreciation of particular landscapes over and above the landscape's own obvious beauty or drama. I have tried to convey my own intangibles in these last two posts and you obviously have your own relating to your Westmorland territory.Sir Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908756392825206914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-796117246752465942016-06-02T17:09:33.386+01:002016-06-02T17:09:33.386+01:00Those moors and dales do indeed bring back youthfu...Those moors and dales do indeed bring back youthful memories - not quite such a favourite area for me as of you but that upper upper stretch of Wharfedale was a delight and made me feel almost back in the Westmorland valleys of my childhood - it was the 'next best thing' . Must try the Dalesway myself - when, I wonder <br />I like the longer text you favour these days - the uber-concise versions of earlier days lost that magic of the fine detail that brings a walk and area to life. And make no apologies for the many images - a walk like that deserves the maximum !gimmernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-38641819143118374562016-06-02T10:15:56.800+01:002016-06-02T10:15:56.800+01:00Lovely walking Conrad, the weather looked superb. ...Lovely walking Conrad, the weather looked superb. Coincidentally I was out with my cousin with whom I had backpacked the Dales Way in the 80's. We set off from Ilkley as a threesome but by the first night at Grassington the third man [not Orson Wells] had retired injured. I think we had gone too far with heavy loads. Whilst out at Skipton we came across the Dales High Way path which looks equally interesting.<br /><br />Globe Flower - Trollius europaeus.<br />Birds Eye Primrose - Primula farinosa.<br />Both are fairly rare except for our Northern regions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-13332798892191260122016-06-02T07:24:55.705+01:002016-06-02T07:24:55.705+01:00coastalwalker - Yes, one of the best walks I'v...coastalwalker - Yes, one of the best walks I've done for a while - much less frequented than the joining section back down to Buckden that I did a few days ago.<br /><br />The ideal arrangement for your project would be a compatible companion following you with a mortorhome.
