Lovely pictures Anne you had a good walk by the look of it. Did you have it more or less to yourselves as we did? It's a pity in a way that more people don't seek out these places, but better for us if they don't ;D

Anne - liked your pics of the superb hay meadows in the North Pennines - sorry you didn't see the Trollius, one of many favourites from the area. These meadows are not usually cut until late July, so that the annuals present such as yellow rattle (Rhinanthus minor) can set and ripen seed. So there's still a little time left for those wishing to visit.......

Hi Dave, yes, but some of the meadows a little further down the dale had already been cut!
