I've not had this on my Blog so here's a first for TNA :-
I was trying to think of somewhere that wasn't Limestone like the last few tours and somewhere I'd not been so out with the maps and this caught my eye Jenny Twigg and her daughter Tib,
Consulting my weather oracle Teddy his piece of seaweed and fircone reckon'd Tuesday the best day of the week.Set off this morning 16th March, Earby-Thornton in Craven-Skipton-Embsay-Eastby-Barden-Appletreewick-Greenhow-Pateley Bridge-Wath-Ramsgill-Lofthouse then parked at the end of the track off the Masham road and followed it up onto the moor passing enough snow for a photo shoot
taking the left fork the stones come into view
going past them up onto the ridge to look back at them
and on to the top of the ridge
and on top of the above
head back towards Jenny
and from another angle
it was that windy at one point I'd to chase my hat so I dropped down to a line of Grouse butts to find a sheltered spot for dinner
after a brew it was time for steak and onion
fried in olive oil on industrial meths in the burner
served on home made bread with an Austrailian Shiraz (Hardys Bin 53)
followed the wall back passed Black gutter head
with the weather improving on the way home I turned off just before Barden onto the Hazel wood Storiths road to have a look at the Laund oak at SE 07292 56128
This spectacular tree is over 800 years old. It is thought to have been named after John of Laund who was the Prior from 1286 to 1330. In the 16th century the Laund Oak marked the point where the Forests of Barden and Knaresborough met.
The foresters on the Estate say this wonderful old tree produces some of the best acorns which grow into fine trees.
just thought I'd share cheers all Danny
