Food Hunt, Oxenhope

We had changed campsites and were now in Yorkshire - I had booked a habitation check on the van for tomorrow and we needed to be close by to save any hassle in the morning.
So after a days driving across the country, and a relax in the campsite - Uplands park - situated on the top of a windy moor close to the Bronte sisters habitat, it was time to stretch our legs and find some libation.
The closest pub was a couple of kilometres away with the same challenges as the previous campsite - either across the moor or around the lanes.

Sue's knee was not too bad so we opted for the moor on the way out and the lanes on the way back in the same routine as the last one.
A suitable path led out the back of the site and onto Black moor

From the moor we contoured around to pick up a back road - Trough Lane - which led to the pub car park. There was a sting in the tail with a steep end to the walk.

After imbibing a couple of pints we returned to the campsite via the roads - whereas the outward leg had been reasonably flat (contouring around) the return involved a drop down to a road junction then back up and along the edge of the moor with views down to Leeming reservoir.

Over the high point and a slight dip down to the campsite entrance, then in and back to our pitch.
we were very lucky and arrived back just before the rain driven by a strong wind came over lasting most of the night.
