Yorkshire Dales, Malham
Autumn 2006 Day 5
Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4
On the last day, a morning walk was taken to the spectacular Gordale Scar, with the return route via Janet's Foss, a waterfall which tumbles into a pool set in a wooded valley.
After a little rain last night, a before breakfast stroll around the village starting at our B&B
.
The sunshine looks promising
.
The locals are optimistic
.
.
Too early for the day trippers
.
The Old Barn Cafe across the river
.
.
Via the clapper bridge
.
The Buck Inn in the dappled morning light
.
.
Over the bridge to
.
.
The Lister Arms on the village green
.
.
Where the locals are still in bed
.
Better get back to Miresfield for breakfast
.
These ramblers are a hungry lot
.
Hope they've left some for me
.
We set off on our final walk
.
Passing the Youth Hostel with its shepherds' crooks artwork
.
Along a path enclosed by ancient stone walls
.
Towards Malham Cove
.
Amazing scenery
.
Where Heather and Mike, our leaders, have their photo taken
.
As do Sue and Bruno
.
And Linda and Janet
.
And Anne and Olivia
.
And finally Angela and Pat
.
We descend to the stream
.
For a final look at the Cove
.
Looking up
.
And down
.
Up the steps we go again
.
Most convincing actor?
.
No school parties yet, too early...
.
Interesting lighting on the distant hills
.
Off we go by the limestone pavement
.
Kathy enjoying the brilliant weather
.
.
We head up Goredale towards the scar
.
Meeting John and Margaret, who have already seen its grandeur
.
Wow! No photos can do it justice
.
Although it doen't stop us trying
.
See that small cave in the centre, would you believe
.
Linda has enlisted the aid of a rock climber to scramble up there
.
Hey, I've just thought of something ...
.
How do I get down again?
.
One last look before
.
We return along the Dale
.
And via Janet's Foss, before returning to the village and our journey home
