Heading through Fremington, hmmm those apples look delicious!

Tim dog leading the way along the quite lane as we started the climb up through the woods

After the woods the views of Swaledale really open out, makes the huffing and puffing worth it

Reeth village with Swaledale leading off behind it and Arkengarthdale going off to the right

Our route up onto Fremington Edge

Great place for a seat isn't it?

Yes, that sign is really on a lean like that, and no I didn't do it!

Looking back down onto Reeth village in the valley bottom

A view along Arkengarthdale from the same spot

Another view of Reeth, this one from Fremington Edge

Route finding is easy on this part of the walk, just follow the wall!

The wall runs for about 3 miles along Fremington Edge

It tends to block any views to the south

Looking out across the heather moorland to the north, our house is over there somewhere!

I tried out my new Jetboil stove today, 94 seconds from switching it on to a steaming hot cup of coffee, not too bad at all!

After our coffee stop it was time to find that big cairn at the NW end of Fremington Edge

Hmmm, it looks like part of it's fallen down since my last visit

Looking NW from the cairn into Slei Gill, this is where we walked a few weeks ago

Looking back up at the cairn as we made our way down through the old mine workings

The views of Arkengarthdale are probably the best on this section of the walk

Lead mining was the main industry in this area and there are plenty of reminders of this on this walk

Heading down towards Storthwaite Hall, with Calver Hill in the background

Looking back up at Fremington Edge, which IMHO is one of the best walks in the area

In the valley bottom now, time to head back towards Reeth

The views are now dominated by Calver Hill which divides Arkengarthdale from Swaledale

Arkengarthdale

Despite what the weathermen had said in had turned out to be a lovely warm day

Heading down towards Castle Farm House

Fremington Edge from the farm

The autumn colours are starting to develop really nicely now

Decision time again, left along the Bridleway or right across the fields?

Fremington Edge from the last of the fields we crossed, just a short walk back along the road to the car
