Brenda, Teddy and more cup stones

Having spent Wed. morning on chauffeur duties which consisted of driving Brenda around the bank and building society to pay bills we stopped on the way home and bought some Yorkshire roast ham, vine tomatoes, water cress, French bread and a bottle of Californian Petite Syria. Made up a picnic and headed through Grassington to park in the layby on the Pateley Bridge road just before Stump Cross caverns see:- http://teddytourteas.blogspot.com/2011/03/crumpet-after-breast-pits.html
and walked along the Skyreholme track to the first cup boulder on the top of black hill (photo #3 in link above) Picnicked finished off the wine and I left Brenda with the haversacks here and set off cup stone prospecting spotted the mound first then the boulder next to it at mark 001 on the map looking down Wharfdale

out with the marbles

then onto mark 002 

back to the track then over onto the rough pasture until mark 003 came into view, that's the track walls behind

lots of cups and channels

the Bear knows what they mean but he’s not saying

it was then across to a lime kiln in the top corner towards the track

where I had one quick shot of some Geese ? flying over

plenty of ferns growing inside in the shade

back to the track and found Brenda talking to a Lady who lives in Skyreholme and works in the Isle of Man !  put a drip coffee Lavazza on, still in warm sunshine,

before heading back via Barden Bridge to Skipton just in time for the nightly rush hour traffic what a contrast Skylarks to commuting traffic. 

just thought I'd share cheers all Danny
