Smardale

A fabulous walk out to the kilns at Smardale this morning with a full of bounce pooch. Being an old railway line it's a relatively flat few miles on a excellently made path, and I think that suits P and my ankle just fine at the moment, I think we might be regular visitors this winter.
The cold crisp air made for fabulous light this morning, and with the low winter sun not able to climb past the east side of the gorge that falls to Scandal Beck it was both a dramatic and welcomingly warm moment when we emerged back into the sunshine on Smardalegill Viaduct.
