And that is just what we have been doing here at the Lodge. Next week we head off on the 3 Peaks Walking Break, our third Walking Break of the year already. Two fabulous groups of like-minded guests have already explored 7 dales between them, enjoyed magnificent cream teas on route and fallen into the local gin distillery – not out of it, you notice! With an abundance of laughter, chat and shared knowledge about all things relating to plants, flowers, animal and bird life to name but a few, it has proved Hippocrates 100% accurate with therapy like this hard to beat.
With some beautiful spring weather, magnificent wildlife, the fields lush and green and the rivers full, we could not have experienced the Yorkshire countryside being any more spectacular and magical.
Next week, we will tackle the three highest peaks in the Yorkshire Dales each day but expect there to be fewer walkers around during the midweek and it looks set fine for our challenge. Henry will be continuing to feed us well and make the necessity for the uphill calorie burning even more urgent! It is a pleasure and a privilege to share this beautiful area with other enthusiastic people keen for those stunning views and the lift it provides us.
