May
Day Bank holiday we spent at Street Head Campsite near Newbiggin in
Bishopdale, near Aysgarth.
First
day's hike we drove along the valley into Wharfedale, parked at
Starbotton and hiked over Cam Head to Kettlewell then back along the
river. Some sunshine until lunchtime then clouded in but no rain.
Back in time to watch TV broadcasting Tour de Yorkshire. Huge crash
at the finish in Scarborough!

the reservoirs then finished up watching the Tour de Yorkshire on the
narrow roads near Leighton. Whoosh... and its all over! But exciting!

Our
last day, we drove the short trip down the valley into upper
Wharfedale and parked at Buckden then did just over 6 miles up
towards Buckden Pike then across to Langstrothdale to Yockenthwaite,
Hubberholme and back along the river. Sun almost shone but again no
rain but a strong wind. Lovely trails accompanied by endless lambs
and sheep.

Popped into Aysgarth to see the Falls before we left, I don't know why they changed the name of the Pub there to Aysgarth Falls Hotel. It will always be Palmar Flatts!
A fabulous weekend!
