Swaledale

I spent the weekend down in Harrogate staying with Aileen. We decided on a Saturday walk in the north of the Dales at Swaledale.

We drove up and parked at the Surrender Bridge just past Reeth, and did a 10km circuit to the north.

It was pretty misty, although still warm. Up and over the top it turned into a lunar landscape - lots of gravel surrounded by boggier ground. A few barely visible cairns appeared through the gloom.

Once out the other side the mist cleared a bit for views to the opposite side of the valley. We ate some lunch in the car and went to the Dales Bike Center and Cafe for coffee and cake (recommended!).

The rough route we took is posted on Komoot.
