16 Dec 2022The walk from Skipton started along a town road, reputedly of Roman origins, and featured the lovely Old Toll House, which is Grade II listed. The road became a rubbly track, continuing uphill, via a zigzag, and out onto the moors. There were excellent views back over Skipton and beyond. There were docile cows at one point.
The path became unclear at times, but the gpx took us to a small bridge over pipes that were issuing water. From here I could see the path and some telegraph poles to aim for. The track became clearer and actually had some proper marker posts after a bit.
There were great views in all directions from the top. There were a number of stone step stiles through drystone walls to negotiate, often difficult to spot from a distance. The rest of the moorland crossing might be boggy or muddy in places, but was frozen when we walked it. Farm buildings and a wind turbine along the route ahead were good route markers. A barn and a pair of free-standing stoops also aided navigation across a field which had no obvious path.
We reached a tarmacked farm road which went right past the wind turbine, and then continued as a country road. After a couple of fields and a paddock (containing horses and surrounded by an electric fence), we had a short section of road, then joined the Millennium Way, along a doubly fenced field edge next to a stream. Soon we could see Silsden, and left the fields down to a pretty little river with icicles and a narrow bridge.
We were soon heading through the pretty streets of Silsden to complete this lovely walk on a beautiful but cold day.
