Langthwaite to Greta Bridge 14 miles 1600ft

A wonderful varied walk in glorious sunshine when, even on a bank holiday, the only person I passed was the very interesting local gamekeeper!


Setting off from the Red Lion Langthwaite where my last Dales walk
finished

Passing some of the old mine workings in Skel Gill 

Now on Booze Moor with early mist still rising out of
Arkengarthdale

Descending into Kexwith with Holgate Moor ahead

Looking back across Kexwith to Hurst Moor

 Descending to the village of Barningham

Barningham is a charming village with pretty cottages... 

...and village green, it also has an ancient stone circle, estate
house with parkland and of course pub and village church. 

Leaving the village after lunch and heading for the river Greta

Passing through fields of oil seed rape....

.... before arriving at Greta Bridge....

....with and very attractive bar in the rather select Morritt
Hotel!

Finally contemplating the next stage of my walk from where the
rivers Greta and Tees meet.
