A start of a new adventure: Hiking the Dales Way - Day 1 

The Dales Way - 81 Miles from Ilkley to Bowness-on-windermere.
Join me on a challenging and beautiful hike along the Dales Way, a long-distance trail in Northern England that runs for 81 miles through the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District. On the first day of the hike, I covered 37km from Ilkley to just short of Ketterwell, taking in some incredible sights along the way.
The Dales Way is a stunning trail that takes hikers through some of the most picturesque scenery in the UK, including rolling hills, rugged moorland, and beautiful river valleys. On this hike, I passed through Bolton Abbey, a ruined 12th-century monastery set in a beautiful parkland, and crossed the Strid, a narrow and treacherous section of the River Wharfe that has claimed many lives over the years.
Another highlight of the day was crossing the Hebden Suspension Bridge, a bouncing footbridge that spans the River Wharfe and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. As the day wore on and the temperature dropped, I found myself facing the challenge of wild camping in freezing temperatures. But the reward was a spectacular sunset over Ketterwell that made it all worthwhile.
Join me on this incredible hiking adventure along the Dales Way, and discover the beauty and challenge of this iconic long-distance trail in the UK.
