The car park was very quite, not surprising it was still really early, and bloody cold, despite the bright early morning sun!

Looking back towards Buckden as we climbed the track up towards Rake Wood

Looking along the valley, you can just about make out the village of Hubberholme?

We spotted our first Primroses of the year in the woods, Spring has definitely arrived!

The River Wharfe meandering along the flat valley floor

A view of the lovely Wharfedale valley, a must for anyone visiting the Yorkshire Dales, IMHO second only to Swaledale?

Not sure if it was the 'volcanic ash' but there were faint dark bands in the sky, not what I would normally expect to see?

Heading along Buckden Rake towards Cray, great walking!

Looking back from the same spot, with Horse Head Fell in the background

Well we have to have at least one shot of Tim dog, don't we?

The hamlet of Cray

Sheena crossing Cray Gill via the stepping stones

Followed by me and Tim dog, who didn't use the stones!

Spotted this lovely old tractor at the farm in Cray, looked like it was still getting plenty of use?

The road winding it's way from Cray towards Buckden

Horse Head Fell from Crook Gill

We we reached Scar House we dropped down towards Hubberholme

The lovely church in Hubberholme

These lambs had only just been born a few minutes prior to us arriving, both were very wobbly on their feet!

Looking back along the valley as we walked back along the river towards Buckden

We managed to meet up with our friends for a coffee before they headed off up Buckden Pike for their walk

We on the other hand headed off to Aysgarth Falls for a picnic beside the river

These are the Upper Falls

The Middle Falls

Another shot of the Middle Falls

Finally the Lower Falls, IMHO probably the best when the river level is so low?

The Lower falls again, I just love waterfall shots!

and again ...

Told you I love waterfalls didn't I????

Honest this is the final one from this walk!
