Stepping Stones At Gargrave (Candlelighters Book Project)

Well here we are again with more from Bethany's shoot at the stepping stones at Gargrave - which for those of you who don't know is a stones' throw from Skipton. There are two sets of stepping stones at Gargrave but I think it's fair to say that these are the more accessible ones.

Now that Bethany and her family have seen all the pictures we are able to post a few more without spoiling any surprises. I've picked a few fun ones. Bethanys mum said right from the off that she would end up falling in the water but we still didn't expect it! It happened twice as you can see! She was jumping across the stones at one point though!

Doesn't this face just say it all? It was flippin' freezing in the river according to Andy! He was wading in it too - as you can see from the previous post about this shoot. This particular picture is of the second time Bethany choose to step off the stepping stone - just why she did it is anyone's guess!! One minute she was there having her photo taken, next she was in the water!! In fairness her mum did tell us that she would end up "falling in". This was more of a wobble off than a fall in though. She did it rather gracefully I have to say - just stepped down into the water as if she was entering a swimming pool!

In the next three pictures we have a bit of a sequence going on. This was the second time she stepped into the deep as it were!

These next two are my personal favourites from the shoot however, I think Bethany looks just amazing to say how cold she was and on the second one you can clearly see what a good sport she was and that she was enjoying herself too.

Once again a big thank you to Bethany and her family for supporting our book project. Not only have they been for a photo shoot but Bethany's mum Wendy has distributed a vast number of postcards for us within her work and personally spread the word to many, many people.
