After overnight heavy rain we were pleased to see sunshine at breakfast.
A bit of a longer day today so we picked up the canal at Salterforth for an easy run north.
After Hetton the roads get a bit more hilly and we had a bit of a delay near Cracoe where a herd of sheep escaped. We managed to block the road and turn them around to run back towards their field and they were soon off the road and safe.
We had a hurried lunch in Grassington and charged on northwards through Kettlewell and Hubberholme where we had a traditional photo session at The George.
Calum and I rode all the way up to Fleet Moss summit and carried on down to the Wensleydale creamery so we could shop before it closed. Once shopping was done the others caught up and we had time for a pint in the sunshine.

Nice and dry this morning and we headed south on quiet roads until we joined the B6265 which seems to have an endless line of quarry lorries.
Skipton of course was busy as it always is but we got our pies (cheese and onion for Calum) and ate them nearby.
We had lunch at Helene's Tea room which was lovely. The floors in the old building are a bit 'undulating' which gave a slight Mrs Overall feel to the waitresses movements which amused us.
We had time to spare so Calum and Trevor had a boat trip.
After that we had to get a move on over the hill to Earby, the warden asked us to arrive early so he could take his daughter out in the evening, we were there before 5.
