We started today's walk from the car park at The High Force Hotel rather than our normal parking spot at Bowlees

Looking down river as we crossed the foot bridge to reach the Pennine Way path on the other side of the river

One of the many small rapids that can be found on this stretch of the river, the dead tree has been there for a few years now, probably washed down river in a previous flood

The riverside meadows were full of wild flowers, not quite as good as those at Muker the day before, but still lovely

Sheena checking out the new gates that have just been installed along the path to replace the stiles

One field we walked past was covered in Common Spotted Orchids

A close up of the Common Spotted Orchids

We also saw some Early Purple Orchids

Some of the new footpath repairs that have been carried out along the Pennine Way

The upper falls at Low Force

The middle set, and largest set

Another view of the middle falls with the upper falls behind

Tim with two new friends!

More wild flower meadows

Back to the footbridge we crossed earlier, time to pay a visit to High Force

High Force, I think this is the better view of the falls

There wasn't as much water coming over the falls as I'd have expected from the rain over the weekend

One last look at High Force before we headed back to the car

Me and my shadow ......

This young rabbit thought if it sat still we wouldn't see it, good job Tim was on his lead!

Heading back down the steps to cross the footbridge and back through the woods to the car park

Sun set reflections ....

The sun was sinking down behind the trees as we walked back to the car
