SUNSHINE IN SWALEDALE




Time for another trip away, this time to Reeth in Swaledale - one of the prettiest of the Dales with its narrow valley bottom where the River Swale winds amid steep sided fells, green fields and limestone walls.
 Once a lead mining area, now sheep and tourists are the norm.
Reeth is one of the most popular walking areas and our campsite, Orchard Caravan Park is close to the village.
Weather is beautiful 22oC so less humid than York. 
A short 5.5 mile walk first day from Reeth along Arkengarthdale and back to Brunton and along the River Awake back to Reeth over the bouncy suspension bridge.
We had to be back for 2pm to watch Tour de France on a critical stage.
Did this on my phone as no Wi-Fi at site so can only use photos from phone rather than my camera. I'm getting better though with technology!
