We've just arrived back from Spain having enjoyed 10 days of gloriously hot sunny weather. After an early frost, today's clear cool sunny weather was too good to miss so it was off to Ribblehead for a climb up Whernside the highest of Yorkshire's Three Peaks.

ReplyDeleteHi Dave Nice to see the old sites again. Looks like you picked a cracking day. Just googled the Ribblehead Viaduct built by "John Sydney Crossley (any relation?) 400m long and 32m high and took 4 years to build. Health and Safety not that great a 100 people died during construction." Keep on blogging. Dave B
ReplyDeleteFantastic to see the photo's of your trips Dave. Beautiful vieuws.
