Decided on an impromptu weekend away in The Yorkshire Dales with the Camping and Caravan Club. Had a 10 mile walk on Saturday, clothed unfortunately and another 8 miles on Sunday partly clothed.
It was once I climbed through the small wooded area at Glasshouses that I decided to strip off, the weather was fantastic and there weren't many people about. I walked for a couple of hours without any issues. On entering another small wood on my way back to Pately Bridge where we were camped. I heard the sound of cascading water, I found the source which turned out to be a wonderful cascading stream. Now as the dog was filthy after jumping in every muddy puddle she could find I decide she deeded a bath, so in she went. following the stream down hill there were some very tempting rock pools. So in I went. The water was clean, clear and cold, just what was needed in the sunshine. I spent a good half hour splashing about and trying to wash the dog, which then resulted in me being worse than she was, this continued until I remembered that I was supposed to meet my wife at the pup in the village. I had to tear myself away and walked till I was dry and my feet were full of tiny thorns. I dressed and proceeded to the pub and had a couple of pints with the normal folk. I will definitely be visiting this area again soon.
