Monday 29th April 2021 - Litton
Our first walk of the year on the first day post lockdown!!!! We were all so looking forward to getting out and meeting up again. Still restricted to "Groups of 6" so walks will be repeated each week till June.
We were hoping for lovely weather but the wind was about 40mph walking up Penyghent Gill from Litton.

The weather improved and we even saw the sun in the distance.
