Cawdale

A spur of the moment decision to make the best of a 'better than forecast' day. Not too much time to spare and it's half term, so we head out to do a short walk in a lonely valley........

Haiving parked at Moorahill Farm we head across the slab bridge

Nice and gentle today, we are heading up The Hause (to the left) and then back down Cawdale, the valley seen in the centre here

Most of the country is cold and miserable today, not us!

Hot Dog




Anyone seen Breeze?

Oh, there she is!!

We headed down to Cawdale Beck and made our own route following the Beck. Not something to do in wet conditions but no problem today


Lots of beautiful clear pools and mini waterfalls along the way

A bit of photo bombing 

The Old Quarry comes into view


There has been a fair landslip here (like so many other places last winter) and this old quarry area looks completely different from our last visit last August

Time for lunch, with a view

Me and My Dad



After lunch it's just a case of heading down the valley back to the car


You can tell it's half term the roads are mayhem
We only walked just over 4.5 miles, but we didn't rush and lingered over lunch in the sun. All that time in the fells during half term and how many people did we see? Absolutely None. Just the way we like it!

  1. I see what you mean about the landslip Rachel! That looks a good route down by Cawdale Beck, perfect on a hot day for Breeze :-)

  2. I see what you mean abut the landslip Rachel! A good idea to come down by Cawdale Beck, lots of opportunities for Breeze to cool down.
