Walked on April 16 and 24, 2021
When Lockdown 3 was introduced last January further Swale walks had to be curtailed. But with the easing of lockdown on the April 12 and the beginning of fine sunny weather it was time to get walking again.
The only problem was the lack of public transport. My solution was to develop a method of driving to where I wanted to get to, leaving a bicycle there, driving back to the start of the walk, doing the walk, then cycling back. It is a rather slow method, managing only 5 to 6 miles each time, but it was enjoyable.
Today’s account covers two walks, the first from Helperby/Brafferton to Topcliffe and the second from Topcliffe to Skipton-on-Swale.
