It was a lovely morning on 16th which allowed us to get packed up in the dry. Once loaded up we set off for Farfield Mill near Sebergh (one of our favourite places) for lunch. As we were only travelling as far as Wharfdale we had time for a good potter around.
After a smashing, perfectly proportioned breakfast, we walked along the Wharfe to Kettlewell and back. Another section of the Dales Way, but the sole of my boot came off. Not good!!
Spent the morning packing the car and getting the van ready for winter. A quick stop off at Plumgarths to pick up some sourdough starter from Lovingly Artisan and the makings of a picnic which was excellent and eaten on the way to Sedburgh and Dent. Dentdale is beautiful but just as we arrived in the village the heavens opened. Sustained by a cup of tea we continued up to Dent Head being suitably impressed by the railway viaducts; amazing Victorian technology and craftmanship. We continued on to Hawes and then over to Wharfedale, the weather and light improving all the time. The Fox and Hounds turned out to be 'a cosy inn of our sort' and we had a delightful evening in the bar which was much as we remembered it from 1986. Our room was superbly comfortable.
