Steve lends a hand getting an airbed inflated at the camp site at Appletreewick the previous evening

Everyone's chilling out now all the tents have been erected

Enjoying a tipple by the River Wharfe which flowed behind our tent pitches

Getting organised for the first day's walk

Shane explans the day's route to the rest of the team

Our collection of tents

At the start of the Dales way in Ilkley with Richard taking in the view from the bridge over the river Wharfe

On the walk with Elizabeth leading the way

The team is split due to the sudden sighting of a rare plant

The root cause of the split is given a turn at pushing the buggy as punishment

Heading towards Bolton Abbey

The fine ruins of Bolton Abbey

Lunchtime on the banks of the river Wharfe

Shaun's all ready for the next part of the walk

Laurence leads the way across some stepping stones

Emily leads in the stragglers

And the walk resumes back on dry ground

Another unscheduled stop

At the rocky Strid where the course of River Wharfe is quite spectacular

Passing over one of the fine bridges along the route

Sunset over the River Wharfe

Laurence & Dick are press ganged into participating in some morris dancing
