The Monk's Dale and Chee Dale Hike was a 10km hike on Sunday 15th June. The weather looked bad first thing on Sunday morning, but it cleared up and we had a really good day for a hike.

The intrepid group steel themselves for the hike.
	After two hours we reach Wormhill and pause briefly for lunch (those of us who have any left!).  The leaders regret not bringing a supply of rotten fruit and veg.
The Chee Dale stepping stones photo opportunity.
	More stepping stones ... another photo opportunity.
