Hebden Bridge to Ickornshaw Moor

Another section of the Pennine Way to complete as part of the Trailblazer guide book update, this time from Hebden Bridge to Gargrave. I was hoping to have some company this weekend, but mid-week, @PilgrimChris had to drop out and I was on my own. I made a slight change in route and used the remarkably cheap train option via Leeds between the two stations, leaving the car at Gargrave so I could walk back to it. The weather was mostly excellent all weekend except for a strong wind on both days, but mostly at my back, so no real complaints on that score. I dawdled for the last couple of hours, taking rests in the sun and finally finding a reasonable spot beside a wall to pitch my tent, with water not too far away. A quiet night and although not exactly warm I wasn't cold either.
