We had a good journey on the coach and were able to set off about 10.30am, with our eyes on the cloud level, but as we walked our first stretch out of Hawes we were relieved to see the top of Pike Hill, our destination.
Across the fields towards Sedbusk we encountered some 'squeezer' stiles which slowed us down. This was the reason for abandoning the original walk from Bainbridge
The old Primitive Methodist Chapel building in Sedbusk
Unfortunately the clouds decended again and our climb to the top was a climb to the unknown and no views, but we found this 'sink hole' for our lunch which looks like serious business
As we finished lunch the clouds started to lift giving us glimpses of the valleys all around us.
Lower down we caught sight of the C Party, but quickly lost them again as we walked across the streams and fields towards these waterfalls tumbling down.

Out into the open again and heading towards the next delightful village of Hardraw
This magnificent tree standing alongside the church is typical of this lovely village.
And then it was back on the Penine Way towards Hawes, with plenty of time to wander around and visit the cafe's and attractions of the village.
