Walking towards the hostel in Gradbach
Following the river through the forest
Boys in blue
Back Dane. If anyone wanted solitude today then they were not going to get it. Noah was buzzing!
A very narrow footpath but for Noah it was the 'secret route'
Approaching Hanging Stone
Rod and Alan posing. Very slippery on there today
Another shot taken during our snack break. Starting to get a bit cloudy
Lud's Church
Sometimes you have to hold him infront of the camera
A quick escape from the always muddy Back Forest. Shutlingsloe (far left)
Buttons Pit Stop
Looking back to the Hanging Stone (far left)
Pushing on towards The Roaches
Father and Son. I love this photo!
Another look back. Cloudy but colourful farmland view
Lots of amazing rock formations on The Roaches. Noah wanted to climb them all.
The Roaches Trig Point
Alan giving a guiding hand on the loose surface. What is that clown doing in the background??
Sun rays
No more photos, please!
Doxey Pool was still frozen enough for dogs to run on it but Alan was still not going to test it out
My favourite viewpoint
and without the big ugly man
descending along the climbers path
Hen Cloud in the distance
The end of another great day on The Roaches
