Day 7 - Newfield Bridge to Rainscar House

Expecting sunshine and showers today as we head into the Yorkshire Dales.
Easy start from Newfield Bridge along a lovely river to Malham. Toby joined us again today

Total change to the scenery now with lots of green rolling hills

We arrive in Malham. One of the highlights of our walk with Malham Cove awaiting

We head towards the cove

As spectacular as expected. Quite something to see. Now we just had to get to the top of it!

On we go!!!! Not looking forward to this climb!

Is that a smile or a grimace from Sharon at the prospect!

The climb was tough, but the views magnificent

The top. It was tough but the rewards are the limestone stepping stones

Not to mention the view! We're we really on that path 10 mins ago? Ok - 30 mins ago!

And on we climbed heading for Malham Tarn next

Malham tarn. Very tranquil and a stop for lunch.


We then continued on over Knowe Fell and Fountains Fell which were very long tough climbs and could see the weather closing in!

It hit as we got to the top.....Snow!!!! Blizzard for 15 mins.... Didn't expect that!

Anyway we then made our way down to our wonderful Sherpa who was diligently waiting!!!! 
She's so good!!! 

A tough day!
