Hardcastle Crags and Crimsworth Dean

We took a walk up through Hardcastle Cargs and over to Crimsworth Dean then back into Midgehole this morning. It was perfect walking weather and apart from a very slight shower it stayed dry throughout. Allan and Chris were on fine form.

There was still a bit of snow in sheltered places where the sun hadn't penetrated...

Coming down Crimsworth the sunlight was just breaking through the clouds, giving a fine view to Hebden and Heptonstall:

In the Crags we saw 2 Treecreepers, 2 Dippers and a Grey Heron but little else of note. Gibson Mill pond was still frozen.
