After we'd walked along the Smardale reserve last weekend (click here for:
Flora and
Butterflies), we walked along the Trust's new access footpath along the railway to the Waitby Greenriggs reserve - so good to have the two reserves connected by what will become an increasingly important wildlife corridor. The full walk up Smardale and then back to Waitby was 10 miles ish. The fly orchids were immaculate as were many other orchids.
