Cononley
Cononley is a small village on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park near Skipton in the UK. It’s also the village where I grew up.
This was a very short, post-Christmas walk around the hills above the village. The snow and ice were quite challenging at points, particularly in the initial climbing section.
