Walden Head, Yorkshire Dales

A few reminders of our weekend

- Barrie "I'll be in my private wing if anyone wants me" Astbury
- Charlie "Warm, dry feet in my new boots" Grant
- Pete "Don't worry lads, I'll get the drinks in (out of the kitty money!)" Smith
- Simon "Hey Steve, let's share a rucksack - you carry it there and I'll let you carry it back" Piercy
- Dave "I hope 'Peanut-bladder Pete' doesn't stomp to the loo and wake me up" Noble
- Tim "<snore> ... eh, what? No, I'm wide awake - watching Match Of The Day ... <snore> ..." Spate
- Steve "I'm on a budget with my Strelley water, my shell suit and my five year plan" Barker

Saturday

Now here's a first - Tim's boots are actually muddy BEFORE we've even taken a step!! 

Barrie can't resist chatting to a couple of dogs (no change there then!) 

Grange Farm 

Straight out of a 70's clothing catalogue? 

Standing on a thick clump - I think it's Pete ... erm, I mean, peat! 

Climbing in the unseasonably warm weather, Dave overheats - whilst in the background the clouds of mist creep over the hill tops 

Trig point on the summit of Buckden Pike

Virgin boots on virgin snow 

"FOR YOUR SAFETY Please be aware of falling signs" 

"WATERFALL!!" << Calm down Charlie!  There's about five in all ...

A careful scramble down a tight crevasse ... 

... Dave and Steve negotiate the same narrow route 

Homemade cheese sandwiches ... 

... washed down with that special Strelley water ... 

... makes one satisfied customer 

Nice 'n' Spicy 

... which means it must be the Piercy Pot Noodle Pic! 

Sunday

A view of the river from the bridge in Hawes (a lot calmer than the last time we were here!) 

"They feel ok but they're not very 'street' ... " 

"... Now that's more like it - I can wear these when I'm out!" 

... and then, as usual, we downed a beer and headed home.
