Dales High Way 2019 Day 1

Sunday 4^th August 2019 Skipton

After walking into Skipton, I caught the train to Saltaire.  I purchased a sandwich and some millionaire’s shortbread and then headed off over the moors.

I passed above Ilkley (where I started the Dales Way last year).

Then arrived back in Skipton 6 hours, and 28km, later.

As I was back relatively early, and wanted to avoid chatting with Grant in his smoke-filled living room, so killed a few hours in the Wetherspoons again drinking cider and reading before having dinner there.

It was back to Grants to pack, shower, read and sleep.  An odd physical reaction to today’s walking, that I have never experienced before, was chaffed butt cheeks.  I don’t recall them bothering me again though.
