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
