5th May -- Clapham, Yorkshire Dales

The B walk started along The Ingleborough Nature Trail then continuing on past Ingleborough caves followed by a short visit to view the Ice Age ravine of Trow Gill. Turning back the path headed North East through interesting limestone scenery, turning round at Thieves Moss. The return journey took us Southwards through Crummack Dale and Valley then on to the typical small Yorkshire village of Austwick, pausing for refreshment at the Game Cock before taking the track across green fields back into Clapham.
