| Walk: | Settle, Warrendale Knotts, Langcliffe, Stainforth, River Ribble | ||
| Start Point: | Settle, Greenfoot car park, Ingfield Lane | Grid Reference: | SD 820 634 |
| Distance: | 11 miles | Ascent: | 1,250 feet |
| Time: | 5.75 hours | ||
| Weather: | Windless, damp, mild. Some sharp showers and drier patches. Poor light made the landscape dramatic. This was the day after the record-breaking Indian Summer temperatures. | ||
| Comments: | 12 walkers and a back- marker. Interesting Dales landscape with evidence of local quarrying and farming industries as a result of centuries of human use. • Settle to Langcliffe via Warrendale Knotts and to Stainforth returning along the River Ribble • A vaulted stonework cattle creep on one of the main east-west coach routes which enabled stock to pass under the road in search of water. • Victoria & Jubilee Caves. Bronze, Stone Age & Roman items found here – long before we arrived! • The Hoffman Kiln – the only complete remaining example in England, in use 1873-1939 |

The leader said this was a cattle creep, but we thought she was water divining
A thoughtful leader
Was this a generation gap?
