After going to Ribblehead and then going for a drive (including Buttertubs pass) we decided to go to Kettlewell through Coverdale. It was only the weekend before when the road was closed due to snow. The road through Coverdale was clear of snow apart from the highest parts even then it didn’t cover the road was just piled at the side of road. The Buttertubs pass the day before had more snow close to the road and a small stretch that had snow on the road which was slushy and slippy.
Today was mainly a drive around from Kettlewell we headed out towards Malham only to find it very busy so just drove up for a quick look at Malham cove from the road.
Back then to Kirby Malham a look around the church.
After that headed back, calling at Grassington for some lunch and then on for another drive around. Calling at Hubberholme. Shortly after I had got interested in Photography again I was in Hubberholme at the back of the “George” and spotted a load of sheep among the large rocks in a stream could see a possible photo there but was unable to get anything good. I walked past this stream bed and thought it would have been good if the sheep had been there but not a sheep in sight. Wasn’t as many rocks as I had remembered either. So off I went across the bridge and up the path behind the church. The idea was to get some images I could experiment with “tilt shift” techniques in Photoshop. As I came back intended to look around the church I looked across the bridge and saw sheep been herded into the area of the stream bed. A lot more than the last time, this time closer together but liked the pastel coloured markings on them.
Onwards for another drive around going back to base the long way around.
Passed a few smaller waterfalls on former visits this time pulled up, this sheep decided to use the top to cross the stream.
Was really a long way back, stopped at Castle Bolton for a short while.
Back in Middleham had a walk around while waiting for it to be time to go eat sun was going down.
