Well what a day it was yesterday with the morning fog / mist burning off to leave the sun blazing away all day and the temperature 20+ degrees. We were on planning to go over to the coast but the temperature was forecasted to be around seven degrees less so we headed inland and for the hills. We parked up at the Durham Dales Centre and did the loop over the moor at Crawleyside to drop back down through the woods into Stanhope. We called past he train station and the café was open today so we bought a well earned drink and sat on the platform watching the train come in. From there we walked along the riverside to the ford where there was a show in the field on the opposite side so coughed up some £'s and had a look around that. Back over the ford and into the chippy in the market place for some nibbles. Stanhope was very busy and there were loads of motorbikes passing through up to / back from Hartside. A quick look around the Dales centre then back to Wolsingham park for ice creams before heading home.
What a fantastic day of walking / site seeing and eating / drinking! Below are a few pics from the near 7 mile route -
Cycling blog to follow later today, again hopefully with some nice sun and not too hot temperature.
