Nowt special

Sunniest day of the week, so decided to head out into the Dales for a non adventure spin, on my so called Adventure bike

Pen Hill, overlooking Wensleydale



Castle Bolton, one of Britain's longest inhabited castles and still in private family ownership



Nipped down to Aysgarth Falls, after all this summer rain





More of Wensleydale, looking to Hawes





Everywhere I went in the Dales, I saw this bunch of mad Dutch people on a sort of Cannonball Run, called Carbage 2015 http://www.carbagerun.nl/

Friendly bunch







Great view of the Howgill Fells near Sedburgh



After Sedburgh, I nipped down to Devil's Bridge for the first time in years, for a cuppa and it wasn't manic on a Thursday afternoon

I headed back up through one of my favourite Dales - Barbondale, to Dentdale - Dent was looking superb in the summer sun







I stopped in Hawes for an ice cream and headed home in the warm evening sun, great ride today

I had a quick 2 hour ride, late this afternoon - to a different area, North Yorks Moors and around the valleys of Bransdale





Today's steed




A stone waller........... with a sense of humour - through the square window (the same view above, from the other side of the valley) we have.........this, picture perfect

Great pics
Wife and I had a run up to Stonehaven yesterday from home in Angus, and we must have seen about 100 of these crazy Dutch tourers - really cool and they seemed to be having a great time

Cheers ...........................Grizzly

One of my favourites. If you fancy a good spot of lunch the cafe at Kilnsey Park Fly Fishery is ideal.

Did a similar route myself last night a nice stead 4.5 hour ride around, I was amazed at the lack of bikes out in Dales, I bet I did not see more than a dozen, there were more camper vans out and about, old folk parked up for the day taking in the views.

Barbondale a great place to free camp, as long as its not Appleby fair.
