The day starts with a road walk to the local Catholic church then backtracking down to the scenery by the River Wharfe and the ancient church of St Michael and All Angels. More classic Dales landscape as we climb out of the river valley and across the farmland to Cracow. A huge quarry is visible to the north (we cross its rail line later). Many places are closed on Mondays but Jacksons farm shop has opened for us and will cook light meals. Onward through Rylstone and down beside Hetton Beck to the Flasby Estate where we turn south east and slog up the slopes to Sharp Haw. Downward again over moorland and around holiday parks to cross the busy A65. Another hill then Skipton is below.
