After the usual milling about, the A and B+ walks set out together starting with.. |
.. a steep climb out of Settle, | with snow in the distance on the peaks. |
Taking a breather. | The first of many muddy stiles |
 | Approaching the Attermire pass |
with Warrendale Knotts to the north | The B+ split off up the pass, and Derek reaches for his camera.. |
to grab this snap happy shot. | The As kept straight on |
..on the path to.. | Malham Tarn |
| Dry Valley |
A chilly lunch stop.. | ..doggedly endured |
Tony Models the new Primark Range | Freshfields Elite (apparently) |
The road back | Leaving the tarn behind |
with views of Ingleborough | and Pen-Y-Ghent |
| Stunning scenery.. |
..beautifully lit.. | by the low evening sun. |
|
Ahh Bless |
After splitting from the As, the B+ walk |
continued along the pass |
by Attermire Scar | and up to |
Victoria Cave | A cave with a view |

 | Looking for a crossing over Cowside Beck |
No problem for the athletic. . | Approaching Catrigg Force, hidden in the trees |

Catrigg Beck above the falls (best not fall in!) | Looking down into Stainforth |

Stainforth Bridge.. | .. and Force |
The Ribble Way back to Settle was very muddy | The 17th century "Folly" in Settle |
The B- group started with a climb up to Giggleswick Scar, then to the hamlet at Feizor, a diversion to the top of Smearsett Scar, then on to Stainforth Force waterfalls, and a (muddy) meander along the R. Ribble to Settle |

The tempting tea-house at Feizor.. | .. was not resisted! |
Across the moors.. | ..to Smearsett Scar |
and on .. | .. to Stainforth Force |
