Baroness Sayeeda Warsi - Around Wharfedale, & including Kettlewell.

The combination of aerial-photography & the use of a 360 degree camera is excellent, especially when you have to stay local, it gives the feeling of actually being there.

boomer wouldn't be the only member here ever to offer to 'take me up the 'river''!

A couple from Rochdale who had travelled 60 miles had to be rescued on Sunday in fog on Ingleborough. that's stretching the stay local rule.

apparently, there is no actual rule on how far you're allowed to travel to take your exercise... but there should be! everyone has a small park or even the pavement where they can go for a little jog or exercises. there is no need to drive 60miles for that! i hope they get fined for both the covid break, and the cost of their rescue!!

How do you get lost on Ingleborough.

If you go upwards you end up at the top of the mountain and if you go downhill you end up at either half a dozen villages or the roads that surround Ingleborough.

^^ I've have been up there when the visibility got quite bad. if they had no map & compass & lost the path it's possible.

BBC4 - 19.10 - Yorkshire Walks - Bolton Priory, River Wharfe, & the Valley of Desolation.

The joys of walking in Yorkshire at this time of year.

I've just seen the downside this week.
The nettles are high. Horse flies are more than a pest, and the midges are bitting.
But worse of all is the giant hogweed which seems to be everywhere this year. I must have come into contact with some of it as my arm has double in size. (please don't try this on your private parts).

So my walks now are to be confined to the moorlands. Haworth here I come.

On BBC 2 is 'Walking with Monica Galetti'.

In which she travels in the North York Moors between Rosedale to Farndale. Parts of Yorkshire that I've never been to. Delightfully uncommercial.
