9/13/2006: B&B, Ilkley, Yorkshire, England. Arrived at the Manchester on 9/12 where Mike & Kathy picked me up. They drove us all to Ilkley to our B&B where we took a short nap and later took a walk to find the start of The Dales Way path.

This is the next morning as we are passing through town on the way to the start of the path.
A variety of stunning flowers are planted everywhere. My favorite are the double begonias which I haven't seen here in the states. Probably too hot in the south.
We actually got on the path about 10:30 am because of some stops to places in town that either Kathy or Mike needed to go. Mike was planning to walk with us the first day. This is Kathy & I at the start of the path.
Wharfe River. Until the path crosses the "continential divide" we will follow the Wharfe River.
"Kissing" gate. The first of several gates were like this
