Wensleydale 2002 Trip Report

Sunday 28th April 2002

Due to the poor weather forecast, exams and heavy drinking the night before there was a low turn out for this walk. Three walks did go ahead for those brave few who where willing to brave the elements. In fairness the weather wasn’t that bad all of the time, there were some sunny intervals, some very strong winds and two of the groups plus Anna’s hood experienced hail.

The first group set off north up to Great Shunner fell from Hawes. The second group went up to lovely seat from Bainbridge and the third group kind of just bimbled north from Bainbridge. They did find a river though that was so nice that they crossed it three times before visiting the highest waterfall in England (or so it claims) where they filmed Robin Hood.

The three groups met back in Hawes where excessive amounts of cheese, chips and of course beer were bought just to complete a good days walking.
