Tuesday 6th March the hills are a -large

A fantastic if not tiring days walking,As I Awoke my caravan was awash with a strange orange glow that I haven't seen for a few months and when I raised my bedside blinds to discover what it was it turned out to be the sun. Fantastic.
My colleague Andy of Caravandy of Hebden Bridge joined us and we jumped into the van and headed to the westerly Settle turn off and started walking. The first four miles was taken at a steady pace culminating with a scone and coffee in the singing kettle,cafe,which we found very reasonable.

We then started walking up and up and more up,the sun was beating down and the view of the world bellow was fantastic, as we carried on up and up.exactly 3 miles further on at an average of about 1.5 mph we found the van and stocked up on water before walking along the top of the world and then a very painful descent bringing us out at the camp site.
Ian and myself thanked Andy and went for a sauna and swim at Skiptons excellent pool. On our return my old ship mate Jessy James had arrived after a long drive from Pompey, so we adjourned to the pub for tea, which turned into a party with the landlord and landlady of the Old Swan inn a Fantastic pub with a good atmosphere and friendly locals,give them a visit next time you're in Gargrave. We were also informed that my tv debute was complete so check it out on you tube Dave Stouts "Long Walk Home" - Faslane to Bradford
