Embsay Crag Walk

James and I embarked on the first 'official' training walk on the 11 January.

The route was starting on Skipton High Street, walking to Embsay and then upto the reservoir, before making the slightly scrambled ascent to the crag. We followed a different route back down to Embsay before returning by footpath to Skipton.

The total distance was 7 and a half miles which we covered in short of 3 hours so not too bad going.

The weather on top was pretty windy with an icy rain. As can be seen from the pictures I was struggling to hold the camera still!
