Brimham Rocks

Sorry for the delay; having a laptop run out of memory means you cannot download photos onto said laptop until more memory is found or installed. After deleting the first 5 seasons of "The Office," we're ready to start blogging again...

Bill and I celebrate our "date-aversary" on Easter Sunday and every year we try to get out for a little hike to commemorate our first date/hike together. This year we celebrated by signing up for the British National Trust (kind of like the National State Park pass) and used our new card to visit Brimham Rocks.
Honestly, the rocks of Brimham Rocks do not look like they belong in England. Aside from the snow, the rocks look like they are from Disneyland's Roaring Thunder, the southwest-themed roller coaster that may or may not still be an attraction. But I digress...

Bill Climbed up on one of the rocks (it was too snowy & slick for me to want to try)
and got some amazing shots of the Dales from his high vantage point.

The rocks were of various shapes, many of which were gravity-defying
 and strikingly beautiful.
After hiking around for several hours, we headed over to the tea lorry for some warmth. I think I have drunk my weight in Yorkshire Gold tea at this point :-)
