Fremington Edge viewed from the village, normally one of our favorites, but not today
Sheena and Tim waiting patiently to go, while I'm busy taking photo's!
The Swale splits into several narrow channels just below the village, with lots of gravel/mud banks
Not the normal 'Swaledale' sheep!
Sheena and Tim crossing the suspension bridge
Another view of the 'new' suspension bridge, the 1920's one was washed away in a flood several years ago
Looking back downstream towards the bridge, we had just crossed
Tim, having just taken a dip, was wondering what was next on the list to chase!
There are lots of bank erosion problems along this stretch of the river
This is just upstream of the previous photograph, the path has been replaced with cobbles and concrete

The path back to Reeth crossed this field, an interesting route finding problem to avoid wet feet!
