Comments:

Morning walk - A pretty straightforward walk mainly across fields but with lots of awkward stiles over steps and through awkward gates!!

Afternoon walk - A stroll beside the River Ure, returning through Hawes

Looking upstream at Burtersett gives a very different picture . . .

to looking downstream

Burtersett village hall . . .

provides a very impressive . . .

stopping point . . .

for those needing refreshment

For our afternoon walk . . .

we followed a route beside the River Ure . . .

which seems to be a section of . . .

the Pennine Way
