This #YorkshireDales walk is from Keld, the last and highest settlement at the western end of Swaledale. The Pennine Way and Wainwright’s Coast to Coast walk cross here. It goes to the 17th Century Tan Hill Inn. #Waterfalls & great views. See https://www.happyhiker.co.uk/MyWalks/YorkshireDales/KeldtoTanHillInn/Hiking%20Pages%20-%20Keld%20to%20Tan%20Hill%20Inn.htm
We’ve been walking more of the Dales Way this week. Some words on that will follow, but in the meantime here’s a link to a piece on last year’s section. We walked in spring last year, but the theme was the same: dry. Climate change is reshaping the Dales.
“By Yockenthwaite it was mid-afternoon, and the River Wharfe had run dry. Sparse March rains had starved the watercourse, and we climbed down and walked on its skeletal stone bed.”
