Cattle grazing beside Sleets Gill, Littondale The upper pastures are still dry and yellow after the hardest winter for decades. Spring is greening the pastures nearer the river where lambs have made their appearances.

Old plough strips in Littondale. The peasant farmers of Hawkswick would have had very little land available on which to grow crops in centuries past, but down dale from the village the south west facing slopes below Knipe Scar had a gentle enough angle to allow ox drawn ploughs to be used. These plough strips [or lynchets] are most likely of medieval date and have left a distinctive 'stepped' landscape on the daleside.

Pen-y-Ghent makes up one the Yorkshire 3 peaks which, if you accept the challenge have to complete all 3 peaks and 24 miles within 12 hours. Most people start with this one (the smallest of the 3 ) from the nearby village of Horton-in-Ribblesdale. I’ve completed the challenge many years ago in my youth and this time we just tackled this one on a circular 6 mile walk. We took the 3 peaks ascent route which is steep in places and involves a scramble up some rocks near the end but the views

This is beautiful Bolton Abbey in Wharfedale at the foot of the Yorkshire Dales. The now ruined abbey was founded in 1154 but dissolved by Henry VIII in 1539. Dare to cross the sixty stepping stones to cross the river but beware of the Strid with its dangerous eddies of water.
