The weather is persistent rain so we delay our departure for our planned walk.
Eventually we head off to Muker where we view fine local photographs at the art
gallery, interesting social history at a small display and after a light lunch
at the Farmers Arms in Muker (popular and busy) start off on a walk along the
river Swale toward Keld.
There are two routes, one climbs north west from Muker up to Hooker Mill Scar then down into Keld. The other follows the river at the base of the hill and is much easier. A good choice would be to take one on the way out and the other coming back, making a circular walk with tea and cakes at the camp site/farm shop in Keld.

| Damp Day at Muker |
The weather was still playing tricks alternating between
sun and rain so as three of us made it as far as the café in Keld but we decide not to
complete the planned round trip involving some ascents and wait for Mark to pick
us up. 
In the evening to Hardraw and the atmospheric Green Dragon (live music,
candle light, open fires) for an excellent steak pie and very good beer
including Theakstons Old Peculier.
The route crossing the hills is tortuous with
vertiginous cliffs just a few feet off the road and bright safety reflectors like endless necklaces guiding us away from the edge.
