Just back from an eight day break in Yorkshire and Derbyshire. Spent the first three nights at a lovely hotel between Skipton and Settle and although the weather was mixed, we were lucky to avoid the worst. Skipton and Settle both worth a visit, as was the lovely village of Grassington. Then dropped down to Bakewell (via a stop off at the lovely Bolton Abbey – very pleasant despite the somewhat variable weather), where we joined up with the Ipswich Ramblers trip and enjoyed some lovely walking in the Peak District. We stayed at the Russell Arms Hotel in Bakewell, which was central and very pleasant. Denise put in two nine milers on the trip as well as two shorter walks, but I passed on the second of the nine milers!
