Walk B, Ingleton, 10th June,

Walk lead by Andrew Phillips, distance 7.8 miles, 1,382 ft

This is a fairly strenuous but interesting walk, taking in a dozen stiles, stepping stones, limestone scars, and plenty of field walking.  We commence by leaving Ingleton towards Ingleborough via Fell Lane (part of the Pennine Journey route). Leaving the track via a stile, we will cross fields down to Skirwith and the quarry. Skirting the quarry the route leads to the River Doe, which is crossed by stepping stones (some agility required), then joins part of the Falls Trail (non payment, and a toilet is available here). Climbing up to Tow Scar, the route joins Turbary Road (a track), which leads onto Tow Scar Road (a track). The route then returns down to Ingleton across several fields past Thornton Hall, and ends outside the entrance to the Ingleton Falls.
