Starting point: Car park at Embsay reservoir at the end of Pasture Lane.
Description: On a rare day off work together, the plan was for me and my wife Sandra to have lunch at The Elm Tree Inn and then have a stroll around the reservoir. My secret plan was to climb the crag and after some gentle persuasion, off we went. I can't take any credit for the photos as I left my camera behind. Sandra took these on her phone.
The walk: From the car park approach the reservoir and turn right along the water board road. Turn left through a gate at the end of the road and follow the path round to the left hand corner of the reservoir. Exit the path onto a lane, turn right and then, almost immediately right again, at the information board. Follow the lower of the two path as it rises past blue - topped marker posts. Take the path going to the left of the crag skirting round and upwards on a rocky track to the summit. Retrace your steps back to the start.
The pub: The Elm Tree Inn. Good choice of ales at the bar. I went for Charles Wells' Bombardier. Good food too.
