I hope those of you have been in the Dales with me and Mr Ross this weekend are all safely back home. You were an excellent group - up for everything we did and not a murmur of complaint (at least not that we heard!). It is always encouraging for me when my pupils are complimented but three times in one day - from the youth hostel, the manager at White Scar Cave and our driver - was exceptional and well deserved. The other Higher group who are going to the Dales in March have a lot to live up to!As promised here are some pics from the weekend...

9pm on Friday evening and you were still working
"Stand off" at Malham Cove with some of the cattle which are being grazed around Malham as part of the Limestone Country Project. (see posting for 07.
A nice view 'over the edge' of Malham Cove. You will, of course, notice the solution hollows in the limestone in the foreground and the resurfaced path leading to the Cove below!
Look past the foreground 'distractions' to see some nice joints and bedding planes!
So this is limestone pavement?
Deep inside Gordale Scar
Erratic at Norber (Hope that limestone plinth doesn't suddenly dissolve, Mr R!)
Grikey! That one's deep.

You can expect to see a lot more photographs of our weekend appearing in the department over the next few days
