Day 3 - Friday 10 May 2019
Hubberholme to Askrigg (13.3 miles)
Weather overcast and the wind had dropped but thankfully dry. Bill was a bit of a shocker at Hubberholme – nice stay but expensive. £6.95 each for Sticky Toffee Pudding – robbery! Short bit of road walking then followed the Wharfe to Buckden Bridge. Up Buckden Rake, above Cray to Cray High Bridge. Ascent up the road to join a steep track on to Stake Moor, which leveled out. Track continued then turned left to follow a grassy swathe downhill above Cragdale to the delightful hamlet of Stalling Busk. Spot of lunch at the new church then we visited the eerie ruined old church further out of the village. Then had a lovely transit along the banks of Semer Water. Arrived in Bainbridge, busy with traffic but as lovely as ever. We stopped for cider and crisps at The Rose and Crown. Then followed the River Ure to Askrigg. Easy check in at The White Rose, our en-suite room was comfortable. We had a nice Dinner in the Restaurant, a drink in the Bar – having left Fudge in the room to rest.
