Day 2 starts by going high and walking in some magnificent upland scenery. You will leave Grassington and ascend to the top of the eastern wall of Wharfedale and spend the morning walking amongst limestone pavement, crags, limestone drystone walling, moorland and spartan trees.

The uplands are not entirely empty though and mid morning you should pass one of many old limestone kilns.

The views of Wharfedale and, as you pass above the village of Conistone, of Kilnsey Crag and the joining of Littondale to Wharfedale.

Finally you will descend into the valley bottom again for a well earned lunch, and a beer or two perhaps, at one of several fine pubs of Kettlewell. We chose the Kings Head.

Don't eat and drink too well though as during the afternoon to come you will pass many more tempting eating and drinking establishments as you return to following the river to the head of the dale.
