Part of Tuesday was spent getting out of Wales and back into England. Along the way, we had to stop and have a quick look at Valle Crucis Abbey ruins. This is in keeping with the C3 character of out UK tour (Coasts, Castles and Churches).
From Valle Crucis, is wasn’t long before we were back in England. The first clue was road signs that didn’t have any Welsh on them and the other was busier highways.
We ended up at a campground in the Peaks District, just outside of Hayfield and after some sustenance, we headed off for a hike up into the Pennine Hills (I think they call them “mountains” but I really can’t do that….). We hiked up and along the historical Pennine Way for several miles before supper. Nice but I don’t think it merits a repeat visit.
Wednesday was mostly a driving day and credit goes to my navigator who plotted a torturous route through busy countryside to get us to the southern Yorkshire Dales in the Wharfedale valley – on the Wharfe River. We set up camp mid-afternoon and hiked down paths along the river towards Boulton Abbey. We didn’t get that far, but it was a nice hike nonetheless.
The main question about now is where we want to be over the Easter weekend. Campgrounds are already getting more busy and schools are out for the next week or so.
