Wensleydale Walk - 1st August 2017





 This was a walk led by Griff starting from Berry's Farm Shop just outside Swinithwaite between Aysgarth & West Witton which climbed up to the Order of St John ruins above Swinithwaite - then along and down to West Witton and thence by paths down to the river Ure.  Although the weather was rather overcast we had only occasional brief showers and the views over Wensleydale were great.
Perhaps next time get Jill's feet in shot Nicky?
You look almost stationary Janet?
















 A very relaxed picnic lunch was held by the river where some exuberant group members decided to utilise the rope swing conveniently installed on a nearby tree to demonstrate that there are still a number of recycled teenagers still active in the party.  After lunch the route took us alongside the river up to Redmire Falls which were in full spate because of the recent heavy rain and then back to the Berry's Farm Shop for tea & cakes.

Probably about 7 miles in all - thanks Griff for an excellent walk and for keeping the rain away.
