Mostly along the Dales Way from Grassington to Kettlewell with absolutely glorious weather along the way. As with my Alternative Dales Way back in 2015 I chose the more uphill route from here, on the eastern side of the Wharfe into Starbotton. The heat of the afternoon almost did me in on the climb out of the village and I was glad to find shelter in Buckden.
