(Simon writes) Spring always feels like it has sprung when new-born lambs are about. Fields become pictures of serenity in the newly warm light and warm air, each mother sheep being orbited by two tiny lambs.

Today I walked from Sedbergh to Kendal along the Dales Way, before our first season on this super week-long trek.


Beautiful lambs near Sedbergh


Sedbergh is one of the major stops on the Dales Way. Here we see it tucked under the Howgill Fells


Following close to the River Lune towards the North


This is definitely sheep country. At Lune Viaduct


The Yorkshire Dales National Park logo crops up here and there, here seen carved and painted yellow on a wooden footbridge
