My Christmas photo

So far we have been blessed with mild weather this winter, making getting around in The Yorkshire Dales much easier than 2010!
Let's hope that this continues into 2012 and we can look forward to a mild Spring.

Pictured below is Elslack Grange Bed & Breakfast on Elslack Lane in Elslack last winter!!

Merry Christmas! and i'll see you next year!

Day 2 of The Inn Way. Yorkshire Dales

It's been a month or so since the 1st stage of The Inn Way.
It was time to tackle Day 2 before the weather 'turned'!!

So, what did we do? We planned it for December 3rd...which turned out to be the 1st day of snow this winter!!!!
We left Elslack Grange at 8-15 am in a snow storm but arrived in Buckden in dry conditions.
However, 3 hrs later we were on the top of Kidstones Pass in a howling wind & hailstorm!
The weather only worsened as we descended. From then on the 'going' was tough!! walking through a snowstorm and across very boggy fields.

Our Lunch stop!

The next Big Walk - The Inn Way of The Yorkshire Dales

So, whilst walking The Coast to Coast..190 miles from St Bees Head to Robin Hoods Bay, we had plenty of time to plan the next walk!
And we came up with 'The Inn Way'. There are a few walks in the series....in The Lake District, Peak District, Northumberland, North Yorkshire Moors and The Yorkshire Dales.
We decided to start with the one nearest to home.
It starts from Grassington heads to Buckden, Askrigg and as far as Reeth and then back towards Grassington via West Burton and Kettlewell.

The photos below are taken on the 1st stage from Grassington to Bucken back in October.
