Walk lead by Pat Guy, 8 miles, 1000ft.
We start the walk by walking through fields to the pretty village of Austwick. It is then on to Wharf, we are now in Crummack Dale, a not so famous Yorkshire Dale but a delightful one. We then walk near to Austwick Beck and join the main track to Crummack, which is really just a farm. Then it is on to Long Scar with its fantastic cairn, I am sure you will be impressed.
We now have a choice 1) a short steep descent into the Clapdale valley passing Ingleborough Caves and through Clapdale woods which are very pretty at present with Bluebells and Wild Garlic in bloom, the downside is that you have to pay £2.50 to get out. 2) Walk down a wide track all the way down to Clapham. We will decide on the day but we will all walk together. The walk is about 8 miles long and 1,000 ft of ascent.
There are a few stiles on this walk, your leader is having a little difficulty with stiles at the moment so you will have to be patient with her. Otherwise it is mainly good terrain.
