In Dovedale eating a great hand made Icecream

 

 

The stepping stones. Noah loved crossing them and laughed his way across the few submerged steps

 

 

One of many catalogue poses whilst ascending Thorpe Cloud

 

 

Looking across to Bunster Hill

 

 

The route ahead. Struggling to keep up with him.

 

 

Noah suggested we rest here for a moment. As I sat down he jumped up eager to reach the top

 

 

Sitting at the top and enjoying a well deserved flapjack

 

 

Taking a look down from another good view point at the top. The route clearly visible.

 

 

Very pleased with himself (Printed in the July10 Issue of Country Walking Magazine)

 

 

He doesn't get his looks from me

 

 

Back in the queue across the stones

 

 

Exploring the river

 

 

Next Destination: The Druid Rocks.

Hidden within these trees is a small network of caves and rock features

 

 

This room was pitch black. The flash on my camera brought out the ugly look of the interior.

 

 

Noah really enjoying exploring

 

 

The backpack cost me £5 in Millets. He loves it.

 

 

Relaxing on the sculpted seats

 

 

Steps

 

 

The last destination for the day: Robin Hood's Stride.

Noah locating the best route up

 

 

A view from the top

 

 

A full day of walking and still full of energy or maybe just excited about having chips for dinner

 

 

Admiring the scenery

 

 

I love this tree and how its managed to grow on the rocks

 

 

10.30pm and still awake

 

 

Next morning Noah helps his uncle Nathan feed his animals

 

 

Taking the ponies to the field

 

 

Nathans farm can be seen on Countrywise here

 

Helping uncle Nathan feed the Reindeer.
