Muker village from the car park

The first part of the walk involves walking along a 'paved' path across several meadow's to reach the river

The first view of the river

Looking back across the river to the meadow's we had just walked through, on the left of the picture is Rampsholme Bridge, which we crossed to follow the track on the northern side of the river

Walking along the valley, the hill in the distance is Rogan's Seat

Where Swinner Gill joins the river turns almost due West towards Keld

Swinner Gill, you can scramble along the river bed to reach the 'Kirk' in the cave at the head of the gill (best done in dry conditions!)

Waterfalls in Swinner Gill (I must have photographed these falls hundreds of times over the last couple of decades!)

Looking back along the river valley from near to Crackpot Hall

I'm not sure how this old tractor got in this state, but its been there as long as I can remember

The river valley narrows a lot as you get near Keld

Approaching the village of Keld, the last one in the valley

Looking up the river as we crossed the bridge at East Stonesdale

Some small fall's where East Gill meets the Swale

As we started to walk back down the river to Muker, the whole hillside was covered in these!

A nice clean Tim!
