Cragside

After a morning working on my Japan book and planning how to get the visas sorted for the next big trip, Ailie and Chris arrived for a walk over the hill and down into Cragside grounds. It was the last chance to see the Rhodies and Azaleas some of which are already over.

This is a picture of Ailie - we’d just assisted an old lady up the steps - she’d taken on a bit much.

We discovered Friday is the only day we are all around to carry on with our Dales Way Walk, so we plan to do the next stage, Grasssington to Buckden.
