Now based at our hotel , The Traddock, in Austwick, which is a few miles from Settle.
Yesterday after getting up we walked to Hardcastle Crags near Hebden Bridge, About 5 miles up a river valley and then back along a ridge - with a break at Gibson's Mill. We had a rather delicious Eccles Cake beween us.
Then on to the hotel to arrive late - too late for dinner.
Today we were out and about. A drive over the hills to Hawes, a wander around and then a 5 miler based on Aysgarth. A good walk but we were both knackered at the end of it, not through the exertion but because of life. Off then to Castle Bolton, where Mary, Queen of Scots was imprisoned. A gem of a castle. I don't think we've seen a castle with the rooms quite so complete. The drive back to the hotel took us via Malham through some beautifully wild country.
A great place to spend time. And an excellent dinner to look forward to!
