A 5 mile Wharfedale wander – Buckden, Cray & Hubberholme

Buckden

Heading up Buckden Rake. It looks quite daunting but it’s not as bad as it looks.

A couple of stragglers

The view across Wharfedale towards Hubberholme and on up Langstrothdale

Looking back to Buckden

Nearly at the top!

A lovely bit of Dales craftsmanship

Autumn has definitely come to Cray

Simon & Howard set the pace

Just before I slipped and landed on my camera in a load of mud…

…and just after

The limestone rock were like polished marble and the mud was even worse.

Stepping stones across Cray Gill

Looking back over Cray Gill, the whole way down that hill had been really slippery. It’s a wonder I was the only faller.

Manor House Farm, Cray

Mount Pleasant Farm, Cray

A typical Wharfedale field barn at Hay Close

Todd’s Wood

A bit of a breather. Albert has spotted the pie…

Buckden in the distance

Straight down Wharfedale

Autumn tones at Hubberholme Wood and above Scar House

Heading down into Langstrothdale

Dropping down into Hubberholme

St Michael & All Angels Church

A beautiful Remembrance display, including loads of crocheted poppies

Tributes to the 12 men of the parish who were killed in the two World Wars.

Purple poppies, in remembrance of animal victims of war.

A very moving empty seat dedicated to each of the lost men.

The George

Heading back to Buckden
