YORKSHIRE DALES - NICE!!
30th June - Kettlewell - Cam Head - Starbotton - Kettlewell
Pathfinder Guide Yorkshire Dales Walk # 11 (6 1/4 Miles) 4 hours
(Height Gain 1,065Ft, Ascent 1,732Ft, Descent 1,456Ft)
We set off on another sunny day out of Kettlewell at 10:00.
The breakfast at Pennycroft had been huge. A full cooked breakfast with everything possible including 2 eggs, loads of toast, spectacular!
The first part of of the walk headed out of Kettlewell up a steep rocky track (Top Mere Road). This went on for about a mile or so the gradient easing to allow us to take in the splendid views.
We continued on across more open moorland rising to Cam Head and eventually the signpost above at Stabotton Cam Road. Going left here and climbing it levelled to a gate and a walled lane leading down to the village of Starbotton. We walked through the village and onto a bridge spanning the River Wharfe.
We stopped here as it was such a nice spot, and then carried on following the river back to Kettlewell.
On reaching Kettlwell a well deserved drink was had at the Blue Bell Inn.
Later that evening we took a walk through the village to the old stone bridge and the river bank below.
Our Walk Score 7/10
