Fabulous blue skies now - it this REALLY December?????
SO warm, in fact, I was overcome! Lying on the warm limestone, it felt just like a late spring, or early summer's day.
The HUGE limestone cliffs above Wye Dale are some of the highest in the country, I believe? I have stood on the top that you can see there, and the view is amazing. Not today though, today we were headed for 'the wetlands'!
After the recent rains, this is what the riverside path looks like. Looking at it, I'd say it was under water as recently as yesterday.
The stepping stones were STILL under water, but thankfully, due to being raised, were still passable - JUST!
Looking back along them, it was a close call as to if we could negociate the stepping stones. Good job we're intrepid!
A close study of the moss in Chee dale. it's a deep and damp dale, so moss grows in abundance.
The steep and wet sides of Chee dale produce some VERY impressive icicles in winter, so if we get a good one, which, if the holly berries are anything to go by, we will, I'll go back and get some photo's. I hope you've enjoyed this walk, see you next week. :-)
