Sheena and Tim at the car park
As we left the car park the woods were full of snowdrops
Bowlee Beck just above where it joins the River Tees
One of the many small bridges we had to cross on the downstream part of the walk
Looking back upstream, near to Low House Farm
A couple of ponies we passed as we walked along the river
Tim having a close encounter with a flock of sheep
Looking back to Low House Farm, as we climbed across the fields
Looking back up the valley as we walked along the minor road towards Middleton-in-Teesdale
The imposing Middleton House was one of the first buildings we came to
Hudeshope Beck runs through the village
The 'old' drinking fountain in the centre of the village
Sheena and Tim deciding which way to go!
Zooming in on Crossthwaite Quarry from the 'County' bridge
Zooming in on Kirkcarrion, a famous landmark in the area
Confirmation that we were heading in the right direction
Looking over to Crossthwaite Common as we walked along the Pennine Way
On the Pennine Way
The River Tees from the Pennine Way
Some of the smaller falls, just downstream from Low Force
Low Force, from the south bank
and from the north bank
Another view of the fall's from the north side
Zooming in
A very wet Tim and Sheena after the heavy showers
A brief appearance of the sun as we walked back to Bowlees
