Out & About in the Yorkshire Dales

Tuesday 24^th June 2014

Skipton to Addingham via Rombalds way.

A delightful walk over the moors on a lovely warm day with Curlew in abundance and a large number of BHG in the mown fields. A brown hare spotted on the tops - could do with one or two brown hairs on my top as well.
