Moor and valley

Wharfedale - It wasn't a very long walk as walks go (about four miles) but it did traverse some varied terrain, from the pleasant and prosperous residential streets of Burley in Wharfedale up onto the edge of Rombalds Moor and then back down into the valley. From the edge of the moor the views are far-reaching, though it was fairly hazy in the sunshine. In the photo above, looking east, you can see the wooded slopes of Otley Chevin. 

A scenic spot to have lunch, on a rocky outcrop, gave a good view both of Otley Chevin (on the right, below) and out along the Wharfe valley. In the distance on the skyline (not quite halfway along from the left) you can just see the prominent outcrop of rock called Almscliffe Crag. 

Down in the valley again, blossom coming into flower on the trees looked wonderful against a blue sky.
