Aldwark to Ripon




I spent the friday padding from Aldwark to Ripon, about 14 miles. It was not the warmest of days, but I had a great time. I saw lots of herons, and watched one hunting, had my best ever view of a kingfisher (about 15 feet away - I suspect it was a youngster), and saw an egret, which is a first for me (other than down south and abroad). I trolled a lure all the way and caught 6 pike and 6 perch, which was fun, and also found these suspected mink tracks, just downstream of hewick bridge.
