The forecast wild night didn't happen. It was a bit breezy when I went to sleep and when I woke there wasn't a breath of wind and the sky was mostly clear. This brings me to the general point about weather forecasts. One of the reasons I'm here, and did a double trek yesterday, is that the forecast for yesterday was good, and it was terrible. And today is supposed to be torrential rain and it isn't.

The chimney

One of the flues to the chimney.

If I'd found a sheltered pitch high on the mountain yesterday I'd have has a sunny morning to walk off the mountain. To increase the accuracy of forecasts they could work out what they think the weather is going to do then broadcast the opposite. With only a couple of miles to Grassington I'm staying put today. I wasn't short of things to see. I'm camped in the middle of a wasteland of abandoned mine workings and I had a look at a complete chimney with a helpful information board that told me all about in. Nearby was the ruin of a massive waterwheel house. The day was mostly calm and some rain didn't start until early evening.

One of the excellent information boards.
