B Walk from Horton 2013

Walk Leader: Gwyn Jones
Distance:   8.5 miles approx
Total Ascent: 1200 ft



Awaiting Details

This is a walk with variety and interest with limestone pavements, caves, great views of famous peaks without the effort of climbing them, rushing water and pretty villages.
We will walk out of Horton-in-Ribblesdale [Horton means 'muddy or dirty farm' although those around here are no worse than others], following the Ribble Way and return over limestone via Sulber Nick past the quarry heading for the Railway station. On the way we may come across cavers as we have done before and enjoy great views for most of the way. However, we should be away from the constant stream of walkers attempting the 'big three'.
High Birkwith, which comprises of just three houses.
High Birkwith Bridge











Low Birkwith, Selside and Ingleborough
Sulber Nick - homeward trot?
