Walk Description
Join Roy and Linda on this moderate 8 mile ramble which visits not one but two (yes two) of the Yorkshire Dales most famous features. The walk starts from Settle and follows the Ribble Way alongside the river up to Stainforth. We then make our way to our lunch stop at Catrigg Force which is a spectacular waterfall in a deep wooded ravine. After lunch we make our way back to Settle via the limestone cliffs which house many caves the most famous being the Victoria cave which when excavated revealed an occupancy for the last 2 million years. The return to Settle is through some of the best limestone featured countryside the Dales have to offer. Please dress appropriately, stout shoes or boots, gloves, warm, windproof and waterproof clothing are essential. A torch is a wise precaution at this time of the year. Bring food and drink for the half way lunch stop. Lost/Late/ Can’t make it? Save us the inconvenience of waiting for you, text or ring Roy on 0780-1070526 (texts have the better chance of getting through in areas of poor reception.) If you have missed the walk start it may be worth looking for Roy’s 4x4 vehicle (reg ROI 2532). Instructions to possible meet points, lunch stop locations etc are usually left on its dashboard along with a fluorescent ‘SPICE ARE HERE’ sign.
Directions: Settle is well signposted from the A65. Head for the town centre where you will pass through some single lane traffic lights the car park is immediately after them on the left before the petrol station. There are toilets at the meet place.
