For anyone who knew him this was another of Muppetts favourite walks.
A cross-dales walk linking Upper Wharfedale to Wensleydale- this walk starts at Kidstones with a walk up and over the old Roman road across Stake Moss then descending to the hamlet of Stalling Busk with its ruined chapel, then a walk alongside Semerwater - a glacial lake & following the River Bain to Bainbridge with village green tea shop, pub & bus stop.
On a good day the views from Stake Moss down into Raydale are excellent.
