Well that’s Bugsy, Mark G and myself done day 1 of the Dales Way, which took us 13.17 miles from the starting point in Ilkley to Burnsall.
We could not have had a better first day! Weather could not have been better! The ground was mainly dry, so we did not get that muddy. Plus was just the right temp for Bugsy.
During the first day we only stopped twice for drink and cake. Both stops within 1 mile of each other in the grounds of Bolton Priory.
Highlights of day 1, other than the great weather. Was seeing Bolton Priory, seeing The Strid, and of course making lots of new memories with Bugsy.
Right here are some photos from day 1. Plus our route can be found at www.strava.com/activities/8908272865
