Geograph - photograph every grid square

The path taking a direct line from Hurst and down to Castle Farm in Arkengarthdale probably provides the steepest way off (or up) and the relief of getting out of the inevitable buffeting from the wind is tempered by the need for concentration where the rut gets deep and muddy, or lower down as the path becomes very vague and grassy, but still unrelentingly steep. Photography always provides an excuse for a pause and it would be a shame not to take a moment to enjoy the view - not many New Year's days are so warm and sunny.
