On 2nd September me and Lynne set off on a walk to Conistone from our lovely B&B, Warren House near Hawkswick. The weather was overcast but quite humid. I had never walked in this area before and I was looking forward to taking in some of The Dales Way which we would pick up from the quaint village of Kettlewell. Here are a few pics and Trip Report of the day:

From here we headed back along the road to take the lane towards Arncliffe back to our B&B. The walk clocked in at 9.3 miles and it turned into a fine and sunny day. An excellent walk with lovely views. Hope you enjoyed the Trip Report.
