Pre-Dinner Walk

For those nimble enough to walk can I propose a route? Starting at Saturday lunch time the same as JC's bike ride; let's say 12.30 to 1.00pm at the market place cross in Settle, opposite the Naked Man, for the walkers.

This is a social walk leaving puff to talk. It is a tweak over 7 miles, so probably about 3 to 3 and a half hours. I am suggesting starting by going up and along the Ribble past Stainforth Force, through Stainforth, which gives anyone who wants it a drop out point of the Craven Heifer pub and then back the way we came along the river. For those who want to do the round, we continue up the old lane to Catrigg Force, which is the only real climb on the walk and even that is not too bad. Then skirting Winskill on down the delightful valley route to pretty, pretty Langcliffe village, and back to Settle along the track that runs below Blua Crags.

All welcome!
