Day 3: 6 or 7 miles, Kettlewell to Raisgill. Great discovery! Much of the movie “Calendar Girls” was filmed in Kettlewell! Our history with the alternative calendar published in 2000 by the Ladies Of Rylstone (Knapely Women’s Institute in the movie) is long and intimately tied to our walks here. We grabbed a local pamphlet outlining where various shots were taken around town and started our day on the Calendar Girls tour. The photo is of the Kettlewell Village Store where we bought cheese for our lunch; in the movie it is Cora’s Tea Shop. When we got home, we had to watch the movie again! An easy six or seven miles to Raisgill, still following the River Wharfe. Since we had so little territory to cover, we stopped in each town we passed; tea in Starbotton; soup in Buckden. Life is tough! No, life is very, very good.
