Grassington to Skipton

Another wet day - much worse than yesterday, but still mostly enjoyed the walk. A mostly familiar route today with a couple of small exceptions. Very wet feet from the outset, but lovely scenery to take my mind off it. This has been my favourite Cross Dales Trail so far and the only one that may get turned into a book - maybe.
