Isn't life a drag? text/html 2013-05-25T10:26:48GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/37389 Karl and Ali 54.294255 -2.471788 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3474935 The wall builders have taken the old wall apart down to the foundations and placed the stone in the field. Beyond is the farm of Lunds with Whernside (736m) above to the left and Great Coum (687m) on the right. text/html 2013-05-25T10:19:24GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/37389 Karl and Ali 54.294512 -2.426928 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3474930 One of numerous walls which parcel up the moorland on the southern side of Garsdale into areas of rough grazing. The density of walls here is much lower than on the southern flank of Rise Hill above Dentdale (a feature which is mirrored on Baugh Fell seen here across Garsdale). It would seem that a southerly aspect made the land more productive allowing smaller subdivisions which could still support an individual farmstead. text/html 2013-05-25T10:10:03GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/37389 Karl and Ali 54.292823 -2.421533 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3474926 As with many other cairns the purpose (if any) is lost in time but there is plenty of building material close by in the numerous flagstone workings. Located on the edge of a steepening it commands fine views along the length of Garsdale and across to the steep, uniform flank of Baugh Fell. text/html 2013-05-24T15:50:37GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/37389 Karl and Ali 54.294500 -2.478090 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3473996 Limestone is evident outcropping nearby and was probably quarried to feed this for local use in mortar or for spreading on acidic soils. text/html 2013-05-24T15:45:15GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/37389 Karl and Ali 54.293271 -2.470701 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3473982 This chap was caught between checking me out and finding a sunny spot - always a conundrum for a friendly feline. text/html 2013-05-24T15:38:52GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/37389 Karl and Ali 54.296434 -2.465974 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3473968 The overgrown and rough state of the pastures at Roantree indicate an upland farm that was at best marginal and which has now reverted to moorland. There is almost no trace of the public footpath on the ground. text/html 2013-05-24T08:06:05GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/37389 Karl and Ali 54.295360 -2.464887 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3473553 Looking from a downstairs window at [[3473551]] a derelict farmhouse high above Dentdale. A piece of the cast iron fire box has been placed on the window sill below the glass-less window. I saw some graffiti from 1976 on a wall which suggests the house has been derelict for many decades. text/html 2013-05-24T08:00:15GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/37389 Karl and Ali 54.295360 -2.464887 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3473551 An abandoned farmhouse with attached barn right at the upper limits of the intake fields. Even in the 'good old days' life must have been challenging here. Now, the sheep have free rein to come and go. text/html 2013-05-24T07:52:06GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/37389 Karl and Ali 54.294492 -2.456887 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3473542 Looking along one of the numerous drystone walls which divide the southern flank of Rise Hill into strips of pasture and rough fell. Dent village is on the left with Great Coum rising above. Further right is Gawthrop below the pass leading over into Barbondale. text/html 2013-05-24T07:46:08GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/37389 Karl and Ali 54.295555 -2.436772 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3473538 Acraband is a steepening caused by a harder layer of gritstone which has been worked in a few places for wall material. This small structure ('cairn' seems inappropriate) may have been a shelter of some sort for the quarriers or shepherds. Across Garsdale is the cloud-shadowed bulk of Baugh Fell with the much more graceful Howgill Fells further left. text/html 2013-05-23T21:36:27GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/37389 Karl and Ali 54.292824 -2.421380 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3473281 This fine cairn is on the edge of a series of flagstone workings and has fine views up and down Garsdale. text/html 2013-05-23T21:25:23GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/37389 Karl and Ali 54.296294 -2.431248 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3473260 Looking into the green pastures of upper Garsdale towards the head of Wensleydale. text/html 2013-05-23T21:21:17GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/37389 Karl and Ali 54.295985 -2.442154 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3473249 The wall which runs for virtually the whole length of the hill steepens as it ascends a strata of harder gritstone. text/html 2013-05-23T15:36:37GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/37389 Karl and Ali 54.300084 -2.451571 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3472575 An access route climbs the tedious west 'ridge' with stiles placed to aid progress where transverse walls join the long summit wall.
