Many thanks to Graham for organising the day's outing, to the Nidderdale AONB office for funding the lunch and to the Toft Gate Barn staff for laying on a wonderful repast in their lovely cafe.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all our blog followers!

The gang line up, ready for the off.
Some of the hats were a bit out of the ordinary.
The views were great in all directions.....
A variety of waterways had to be crossed -
- some wider than others.
A number of gates and stiles caused occasional bottlenecks.
Julia wished she hadn't eaten that
extra mince pie at lunch time.
The mining area at Ashfold Beck provided a
handy seating area for morning coffee.
Onward and upward to our lunch venue near Greenhow,
past a van whose sat nav had let the driver down.
Nearly there.
Hurray! Here it is!
Everyone was glad of a sit down in a warm room....
And then it was time to get going on the downhill stretch.
Terry decided to use his antennae to help him navigate back to Pateley Bridge.
Some interesting things were seen along the way....
... exceptionally large fungus,
.... old mining buildings .....
.... and a rather cute donkey.
