Cronkley Scar seen from the start of the walk

Wat Garth farm, all the farms on the north side of the valley are painted white, to show they belong to Raby Estate

The first view of the river Tees, the Pennine Way crosses to the north side of the river here, having followed the south side all the way from Middleton

Cronkley Fell and the 'Green Trod' an old drovers road

White Force waterfall, not much water in it today. In the right winter conditions it is Teesdale's only ice climb!

Looking back along the 'Green Trod', Noon Hill is on the right

One of the 'wild inhabitants' of the high fell's!

The sign on the 'enclosures' where the wild flowers are located

One of the enclosures, the protected side is the left side

'Sugar Limestone' its only found in this one location in Teesdale and another in Scotland

What we were looking for, a 'Spring Gentian'!

Tim having a dip in the stream at White Well, a natural spring!

Now what did my dad say about not getting all wet and mucky?

Looking down on the river Tees from Black Sike

Looking back along the river towards Raven Scar

Looking across the river at some of the  many cliffs, these are made of Whin Sill which is a very hard wearing volcanic rock, which is why there's so many waterfalls!

Walking up the river towards Cauldron Snout, the cliffs on the other back are 'Falcon Clints'

Cauldron Snout! The concrete structure at the top is the top of the 70 foot high dam at Cow Green

Heading back downstream

Heading towards Raven Scar

As you pass the scar the path goes right down to the river, in place's they have these board walks!

A quick spin dry and I'll be all dry after my dip!

Widdybank Farm on the opposite side of the river, a sign that we were getting back to habitation
