INGLETON WATERFALLS TRAIL

The day dawned cloudy and cooler, we drove to Ingleton and had a 41/2 mile walk in a Waterfall Wonderland. Six pound each to enter from Ingleton with car park included, well worth the money.
The trail followed a well- defined footpath over moderately inclined ground, some steps included where there was a climb up onto open moorland as well as through the oak woodland. Just superb despite a few sprinkles towards the end.
Stunningly beautiful waterfalls and wildflowers - magical!

A CIRCULAR WALK UP INGLEBOROUGH FROM CLAPHAM

An 11.95 mile walk from Clapham to the summit of Ingleborough, with an ascent of about 2200 feet on a hot day was a joy doing the climb but coming down was not as pleasant for me, toes hurting then knees but I managed it without too much moaning!

We started walking through the Ingleborough Estate, past the entrance to Ingleborough cave then a climb up through Trow Gill, a steep rocky narrow dry valley. Past the fenced are of Gaping Gill, a vertical shaft 365 ft deep. People can be winched down on Bank Holidays by local caving teams!
Up to the summit of Ingleborough, then the long descent back to Clapham. Phew!!

SUNNY AND SETTLED IN SETTLE

Having four nights away at Knight Stainforth Hall Camping & Caravan Park in Settle.
Weather was glorious, our first day we did a 9 mile circular hike from the campsite to Stainforth and Settle, did a short diversion to Catrigg Foss and the pretty Stainforth Force and packhorse bridge ended the beautiful day.
