Friday 26th September
Today we started our dales walk in Burnsall. It began with a fairly steep ascent to the fell overlooking the village and the River Wharfe.

Abour half way round we stopped for lunch beside Hebden Suspension Bridge, built on this day in 1885. The water was very clear and we saw a huge crayfish walking among the rocks on the riverbed.


We followed the path by the river to Loup Scar and Wilfrid Scar where we came across someone swimming and two people rock climbing.


Further along we stopped at a seat and saw several good sized trout leaping well out of the water.

We walked back to Burnsall alongside the river.
On our way home we called in at Grassington for a short walk around the village.
