Worthy

Tussock and I walked the Worth Way today. I ran round it three times in the distant past with various KCAC pals but today was my first time walking. We only set off the do the northern half but got to Crossroads and carried on as much as anything because it was such a perfect day to be out. I've run every day this week and nipped out for a mile and a half with Stef before tea

Autumn approaches

World Rivers Day

Life is manic at present with our impending house moving getting ever nearer. Stef's been brilliant organising our packing and suggesting well-timed breaks to take Tussock out for walks. Sunday was World Rivers Day so a walk by the Wharfe (maybe my last as a Wharfedale resident?) seemed appropriate

Autumn in Wharfedale

Autumn is arriving quickly in Wharfedale with dewy, misty mornings and the leaves changing colour. It's a lovely time of the year to be out walking with Tussock, whether it's up the "dale proper", or simply pottering around near home

Roman road

We had a walk on the Roman road today with Tuss plus a couple from the village who also have a vizsla.  It was a perfect autumn afternoon for a walk

More from this weekend

We've had back to back weekends of walking Saturday and Sunday. Last weekend we did a route very loosely based on the Wharfedale Marathon and this weekend a there and back from Heptonstall - Ponden - Heptonstall . Our new Wild Country Coshee 3 tent is a good (cheap) compromise between weight and room. A big thank you to John at the Old Silent for being the perfect landlord on Saturday evening

No sleep till Buckden

Stef and I caught the train to Dent station on Friday evening from Skipton and then walked home on the Dales Way. We had a couple of bivvy stopovers and visited a few cafes and a couple of pubs 

I'd walked sections of the Dales Way between Yockenthwaite and Ilkley loads of times but Friday's ten mile or so section to Swathghyll and Saturday morning's start were new

I took loads of photos so will make two or three further posts. It was just great to be out for what Stef called an adventure
