Horton in Ribblesdale to Hawes

a troup sets off
we sign the PW book in the cafe across the road
walk for an hour
with babies bouncing on backs and fronts
they are walking at new heights
children's eyes looking down on us
a fake fall is demonstrated
departure at a gate
an hour back to their start

open moorland
no trees, just grass
a deep incision
hidden
trees, running water
horizontal slabs of rock
