uk roadtrip part 2: ilkley moor



On our second day in Leeds, Rafi and Liam and I went for a walk on Ilkley Moor. Here's where we parked, on the road outside the Cow & Calf.


It was such a great day for walking. Sunny and beautiful but not too warm, and fabulous views in every direction. (And the fact that even Liam came out walking says a lot about the vacation-y mood he was in!) Here's the photo dump:







Look, I'm in a photo!




And there were sheepses, big and small.






We brought lunch wraps from home and had them by a little brook.


This was a border of some sort - maybe a parish border?






We missed a turn (we think?) towards the end or our walk, so it got a tiny bit longer then we thought, but not longer than we could handle. We were out walking for four and a half hours which felt like such a treat - you know how much I love walking and beautiful scenery and good company, and I got all three this daytrip.


Afterwards we had definitely deserved a drink in the garden at the Cow & Calf.





These gorgeous boys though!


In the evening after dinner (Rafi cooked for us with headphones on while Liam napped and I wrote in my journal - we were all pretty peopled out and tired from being out in the sun, so we agreed on some alone time) we played Taluva, which is a fun board game I'd only played online before. And then we all crashed into bed after a delightful day.
