Just a hobble with the crutch again today. It’s good to be close to the river and able to go down for a walk beside it. The Wharfe is known as a capricious, unpredictable river and should always be treated with respect, but it never fails to impress. This bridge was built at the site of the ford, which was previously the only crossing point in Ilkley. You can definitely see what look like large stone flags on the riverbed here: I don’t know if they are definitely the ford, but I like to think that they could be!
