The sign for this route said it was difficult and impassable after heavy rain. It was steep, slippery and in some places we were in the river. Good fun though.
Mark in one of the sloppy areas

Thorpe Cloud from Bunster Hill
We chose the very steep descent off Bunster Hill down to the River Dove. Bums polished the ground in places and the effort of trying to stay upright was felt at the bottom
Phew! Back at the bottom without any falls
Last look back at Dove Dale
