Erosion on this bend of the River Skirfare has exposed glacial
moraine left by the retreating glacier at the end of the Ice Age
After leaving Littondale I was back in Wharfedale . . . this part of the dale
is dominated by Great Whernside
It was the end of a wonderful two days of walking in Wharfedale and Littondale. It had been perfect staying overnight at The Kings Head in Kettlewell. I really felt I had been away for a week . . . . not just 2 days!
I hope you have enjoyed walking with me . . . virtually of course!
My next blog will be a return to my Pennine Way adventure!
