Yorkshire Dales fieldtrip November 2007

Well done to all of you who were with us in the Dales this weekend. You walked well (with hardly a complaint about the rain on Saturday!), worked hard - until after 10pm on both evenings, earned plaudits from the youth hostel staff and were good company. Here, as promised, are a few highlights from the weekend, starting with Thornton Force from Friday afternoon.....

Saturday morning walk to Malham Cove and the pavement at the top of the 415 steps!


Then on to Gordale Scar....
...followed by a visit to the Norber erratics

This morning (Sunday) we went to the limestone quarry at Hortonthen on to the pavements at Scar Close
at the foot of Ingleborough.......

....where we had fun testing out the grykes for size!

Last stop was a visit to White Scar caves .......Outside there were great views across the valley to Twistleton ...
