A pleasant outing with Pete - only a few remnants of the recent snow left.
The first trig was Bretherdale Head (NY 582 053) overlooking the pretty valley of Bretherdale which I have seen before but must be worth another visit.
There was no drama so this is mainly a pictorial report.
We finished off with sandwich and chips in The Black Swan at Ravenstonedale - very agreeable. This is a good venue - they serve this kind of food through the afternoon.

These three trigs now bring the total visited to nine out of forty nine. I have booked five nights on Wild Rose Caravan Site near Appleby from 11th to 15th April and along with Pete I hope to visit the more northerly ones which are a fairly long drive from my home. Very soon after that trip I hope to backpack the previously mentioned Dales High Way.
This sounds like a very worthwhile and enjoyable use of hill-time. We look forward to following your progress.
ReplyDeleteThat's better but there are still unnecessary gaps. Get up one morning, punch a hole through a nearby brick wall and say to yourself "I'm going to take HTML by its privates and bend it to my needs." And, after about ten minutes, phone me.
ReplyDeleteG & L - thanks for your comment and interst. Where was your profile pic taken?
ReplyDeleteBB - I will try but I think HTML stands for: Hard To Master Language!
My profile pic was taken on a Meall a' Ghiubhais above Kinlochewe.
