Happy Birthday Jean!

It’s been a great and dramatic start to our walk; great to finally have started walking in earnest on a rather long distance leg for us (15 miles), and under the drama of the stormy weather; very windy and showery. Yes, we walked the whole way, but it did take us a while, making for a long day on our feet. Our path was following the River Wharfe from Ben Rydding, to Addingham, to Bolton Priory (Abbey), to the small village of Burnsall. Although long, the route today was relatively easy, it was just a gentle uphill path next to the river. We saw many hikers of all kinds on the trail, perhaps because it was a weekend, and perhaps because of the beauty of this region and the popular Bolton Abbey property. The Wharfe river valley is gentle and green all over the U shaped sides to the valley it has carved through time; with trees and grasses, both straining under the force of the wind. The river varied from slow and wide, to narrow, charging and churning through the narrow sections like “The Strid”. We loved this start to the walk.
