Clunters Gill to Gragareth

Parked at Clunters Gill bridge at the head of Kingsdale

and set off through the wood

out of the wood

went left to follow the wall up

Bahhh!

Inglebourgh comes into view

Lichen on the wall

and an old wood cart ? chassis

 follow the wall uphill

looking back

plod on, the wind was getting strong but blowing behind

 at the top Pheww ! needed a blood transfusion

followed the wall left to keep out of the wind , the Bear opened the Bistro at 2005 feet, lamb and mint

burger, petite pois, baby carrots, mashed potatoes and a 2009 South African Pinotage Rose.

looking back to see Penyghent and Inglebourgh

and Whernside

headed for the high ground to find the Trig. but it was super boggy (think being found in 2000 years as a leather peat bog man)

Here's one for Steve (Fell Finder) and Mark (Beating the Bounds) Gragareth Trig overlooking Arnside Knott

the wind was gale force

back to the top wall over looking Braida Garth farm to the Limestone pavements on Scale moor and over the valley to Raven Scar on Inglebourgh

and Whernside

with a tele-photo of Penyghent

and looking down on Ingleton

 Steep !

and down through the Milstone grit which has been worked since Neolithic times

managed to find a damaged one

final views of Inglebourgh

and Whernside with cloud forming on top

then back down to the car and a drive down Kingsdale with photo's of the dry river bed 

it only flows after high rain when in flood the rest of the time it's underground to re-appear at Keld Head

final shot before main road and home

just thought I'd share cheers all Danny

Hunters stone and Tor Dyke

Just for a change it wasn't raining so set off via Thornton, Skipton by-pass,,Rylstone,Cracoe, Threshfield and stopped outside the Tennant Arms at Kilnsey

 we were too early though so after looking at the beck

we set off for Kettlewell

just opened we were the first served

while Brenda and the Bear had a pint I took some photo's

then set off on the Coverdale road and up Park Rash, passing a limekiln on the right

 and a Teuchat (it was wearing a kilt !)

before arriving at the Hunters stone

 which marks a route used by the Monks from Coverham abbey to Kilnsey, and the Drovers

small stone cairn with fresh cut Holly around just to the side ?

back to the P on the map and park just before the cattle grid

with a view down Wharfedale

looking towards Great Whernside along Tor Dyke http://www.brigantesnation.com/SiteResearch/Iron%20Age/Tor%20Dyke/TorDyke.htm

then back over the road and along the Bridleway towards Starbotton

looking back at the Dyke

 carried on along the top, on the track - over looking

and here's a first

the track then got wet !

with either a rescue or training over towards Gt. Whernside

left Brenda on the track and set off to find the long barrow I was looking for

with an Owl hawking up and down and getting mobbed by a Curlew and Lapwings

 had a look for but couldn't find Shorn Cross. I'll have to do some more research

then back to the track passing a small pond (left of red flag) one for Mark (gauntlet ?)

then back along the track

 to the car

and back down Park Rash

and into Kettlewell

just as it started to drizzle, just thought I'd share cheers all Danny
