Thornton-in-Craven to Malham, 9.5 miles, 15.5 kilometres.
We started our walk today here.
The guide book described today as a relaxed day of walking. Ha ha.
It was along paths and lanes,
canals and streams.
Everyone was out enjoying the sun and we slowed, chatting along the way.
This was a must photograph landmark
(and means we have walked approximately 70 miles so far this walk not counting to-and-from our accommodation and dinner)
and lollies!
Oh no. I think this might be a long post.
And just round the corner from the lollie shop, a flea market!
My little collection from the flea market.
Something to hold my reel of thread,
a little sewing kit,
I shouldn't but I did.
Sue and her stall at the flea market in Gargave, next held on the August bank holiday weekend Sunday and Monday. There were so many more treasures I could have saved.
Eventually we tore ourselves away but not far as a couple of boats were negotiating the nearby lock.
Oh, and this was funny in a terrifying kind of way....
These cows started following me across the field but when I stopped and turned
they would stop. But not GO AWAY.
With persistence I made it out of that field
and here we are tonight in Malham!

Lovely Summer greens along the lanes and in the hedgerows, beautiful. I do miss the flea markets with all the little knick knacks they have in abundance. Well, you seem to be having a lovely walk with stops in beautiful places - even though you were held up by these lovely Friesians (think that's what they are from memory), hope the weather stays good for you.
ReplyDeleteLooks amazing, i think a long boat holiday on a canal sounds lovely.
