Return to the First Inn Way Finale
It's good to be back in this part of the world. 8, nearly 9 years since I completed my first Inn Way (to the Yorkshire Dales) at the Fountaine Inn, Linton. The exact place where this walk - from Mark Reid's Walking Weekends - also finishes.
An easy out ramble along the River Wharfe.

| Burnsall Bridge - the head back point |
The Red Lion strategically place next to the bridge, and thankfully a pre-midday opener. A decent Dark Horse Brewery, Hetton Pale Abbey the reward.

| Such handsome, solid pubs in this part of the world |
The return is across ancient field systems for an all body work out. So many walls, with stone stiles and little swing gates to cross.

Linton, with the Fountaine Inn, provides the next stop - a mere half a mile from Grassington. Move on to the Craven Bitter from Dark Horse for liquid symmetry.
Lovely to see the Inn Way sign still resplendent on the outside of the pub. Apparently, one of the few with the book stamp clicker still attached.
