Wensleydale for New Year<\/h1>\n

Wensleydale is one of my favourite Dales, it’s long, wide, full of waterfalls and lovely villages – and has nice cheese!<\/p>\n

This new year I was up there with friends and popped out now and then to get some shots of the area – especially one fantastic sunset on New Years Day, where we went up Butter Tubs Pass. Looking back over the valley to Ingleborough was pure magic.<\/p>\n

Snowy grass in the foreground<\/a>, dramatic skies in the distance, and eventually we got a rare Sun Pillar. I’ve not seen one before, it’s when the sun sets and lights up ice particles in the sky – looking like a fountain of fire.<\/p>\n

The following day, I finally found Cotter Force – I’d tried before but went straight past it by accident! It’s probably the most accessible waterfall\u00a0other<\/a> than West Burton, in a little rock fissure and all in the shade.<\/p>\n

New Years Evening was a deluge, so when we went to Aysgarth Falls<\/a> the river Ure was a torrent – perfect for Sam, this guy who’s a professional Kayak racer. He did a couple of runs for us, totally mental, but exciting to watch.<\/p>\n

We went to Hardrow Force too – England’s highest fall wzith a clear drop over 90 feet – and again it was pretty full compared to normal.<\/p>\n

Walking across the fields between Simonstone and Hardraw was\u00a0relly pretty too – can’t beat the odd barn or tree for a Landscape photo.<\/p>\n
