Starting Book 10 ..........

We were down in Dovedale yesterday, walking the first walk to go in my next book. We parked near Thorpe and walked into the village before descending the hill towards Ilam [pictured]. Even though the sun wasn't shining it was still a glorious view and in autumn it is spectacular.

Then we walked up Dovedale past all the strollers. Immediately past Doveholes we were ...... alone ! All the casual walkers had been left in the valley and there was just the two of us.

An enjoyable walk - still got to work out which pub to use. As usual we didn't get off early enough.
