Skipton was shrouded in mist this morning as we set off and as soon as we re-joined the Pennine Way, the climbing started and continued steeply until we eventually got a view looking back into the valley to see the whole of Skipton enveloped beneath the clouds.
We had started the day with only the Travelodge takeaway breakfast offerings to fuel us up, hoping to pass somewhere along the way to get a decent lunch. However, there were no shops en-route, so we did the 23 Miles to Hebden Bridge on minimal food, which was not ideal.
Even though the walking was tough, there were some nice parts along the way, Stanbury Moor was great, and later we passed the ominously named 'Midge Hole', but didn't pay it a visit.
Hebden Bridge turned out to be a nice place, buzzing in the heat wave, with plenty of bars, cafés and shops. Apparently, Hebden Bridge was completely flooded out this time last year, no sign of that today on the hottest day of the year so far.
