The way to lunch

photoWe’re about half way to Fellbeck walking along the Nidderdale Way. Destination, The Half Moon. Let’s just hope we make it before they stop serving food.

St Mary’s Church Pateley Bridge

photoThis the derelict former parish church of Pateley Bridge in Nidderdale. It’s up a very steep hill. The faithful would have paid a penence every time they attended just for enduring the gradient.

The Rock

View of Nidderdale from The RockFirst stop on a walk from Pateley Bridge to Fellbeck. This rock was fenced off as a viewing point for Queen Victoria’s Jubillee in 1887. Still good views over Nidderdale 121 years later.

Here’s the bike computer at the end of my ride. I’m back in
Grassington and completed 110 miles since leaving here yesterday. I’ve
also climbed the equivalent of two and a bit Ben Nevis’s.
I feel good and apart from the odd light shower it’s been fine from
Malham.
I must put in a word of thanks to my bike. Not a puncture or a squeak
all the way round.
Thank you everyone who donated to sponsor this ride on behalf of
Palestinian Young People coming to the Riding Lights Theatre Summer
School next month. There’s still time to donate. The site remains
active for some time yet. www.help.co.uk/ridingbike
