I have recced two walks for today – not out of sheer enthusiasm I assure you !!

The first would take us up the river Twiss and, after a loop to add length, down the river Doe – this is the Waterfall walk which is tough with a multitude of steps up and down as you walk alongside each river. It would be amazing if there had been rain with the numerous waterfalls looking stunning, BUT there is a charge of £5 per person because the paths are on private land. I came back thinking that B group walkers would feel that £5 on top of the coach and coffee/beers afterwards was a bit steep.

So – I have charted the walk you now see but have to say that this will not have been recced before this note is posted on the website. I will be recceing it on Friday 5th August and have more detail for the clipboard on the coach.

The walk starts at 412 ft ascending over the next 3.4 miles to 1318ft followed by a further peak of 1044ft after 5.16 miles. The walk measures 8.12 miles and is over open land along lanes and paths. As you can see we will cross both rivers further upstream than Ingleton – both were dry on the first recce, though the waterfalls had plenty of water to sparkle.
