These combine with shallow soil cover, shakeholes, potholes and caves to form classic karst landscape. • Panoramic views across the southern dales and southern dales fringes. In the western part of the area views are dominated by the Three Peaks landforms of Ingleborough, Whernside and Pen-y-ghent. Vertical limestone • Closely grazed, springy, flower-rich grasslands form a neat, bright green carpet between exposed rock features. cliffs at Kilnsey • Scattered trees or open, grazed woodland on scree slopes and cliffs, with occasional windblown trees or shrubs in Crag, Wharfedale ... cliffs and pavements at higher levels. Several large, semi-natural, undergrazed woodlands occur on the dale sides and a few, small, isolated plantations at higher elevations. • A general absence of streams and surface water features, with the exception of occasional small tarns and limited numbers of springs at the base of the limestone moors, mainly around Ingleborough.

Since the Club has just embarked on its second century, your committee deemed this a suitable time to launch this venture. The main aim of The Yorkshire Rambler will be to reflect fully the activities of the Club and the members, but, above all, to provide a 'good read'. The success or failure of the bulletin will depend on everyone taking the trouble to put pen to paper to let us know about any activity, or indeed any snippet of information, that will be of interest to members. May I exhort you all to make an effort so that we get a publication whose next issue will always be eagerly awaited. ,{,I."#dtvtI Yt-f-ffi-F @1994 Yorkshire Ramblers' Club Secretary - John Schofield, 40 Newall Hall Park, Otley, West Yorkshire LS21 2RD Editor - Michael Smith, 80 Towngate Road, Worrall, Shefiield S30 3AR The opinions expressed in this publication are not necessarily those of the Y.R.C, its Officers or those of the Editor.

Nixon on the Heights of the Hills of Wensleydale. ~1 boring has been carried 2,50 feet below the surface, but with occasional changes in the strata. What these were I was unable to learn; Mr. Merritt, the proprietor, being absent at the time. While the water of the creek, only a few feet off, is quite sweet, that of the spring is very salt, and copious, tt is some- times very red. Fifty gallons make a bushel of salt, which is very white, and in small and thin irregular tables ; '36~0 bushels are made in a year, worth on the spot about 550l. sterling. The Parallel Ridge, a mountain overlooking this flat, is com- posed of the same materials as the chasm of the River Niagara, which have already been declared to be, successively, from be- low, saliferous sandstone, ferriferous sandstone and slate, cal- ciferous slate, and geodiferous limestone rock, I therefore re- thr the reader to my account of that river for any additional particulars respecting these strata that may occur in that ridge.

    Tales from DalesRail Great walks from Garsdale (2) John Barnes DalesRail may not be operating in 2020 but that doesn’t stop us sharing our many interesting experiences about our journeys. We hope you will share your interesting stories, favourite walks, fascinating anecdotes and pictures about DalesRail. Please send them to [email protected] or Simon Clarke at [email protected]. A walk around Grisedale Map: Ordnance Survey Explorer OL`19 – Howgill Fells & Upper Eden Valley Standing by Garsdale Station the prominent hill looking west is Baugh Fell with the cairns of Grisedale Pike visible at the near end. Below Grisedale Pike to the north is Grisedale, a remote valley lying beneath the heights of Swarth Fell. Grisedale featured in a Yorkshire documentary ‘The Dale That Died’ in 1975, a book to accompany the programme was produced by Barry Cockcroft. The Clough River has its source in Grisedale. Tributaries on Swarth Fell and Baugh Fell are collected into Grisedale Beck which continues as Clough River running through Grisedale Head and down Garsdale to join the River Rawthey near Gardsale Bridge. Some of the old farms in Grisedale have been refurbished and are lived in; many are in ruins such as Rowantree, East Scale where there is a Quaker burial ground, West Scale and Round Ing. Here is an easy walk of 8.5 miles which incudes an exploration of Grisedale and continues further by How Beck Bridge to follow the River Ure and on to Garsdale Station. The start of the walk at the very attractive Garsdale Station We begin at Garsdale Station and going north to Garsdale Head, cross the road and continue to Blake Mire.

    The Yorkshire Three Peaks walk Distance: 39km (24 miles) Parking: Horton car park ( BD24 0HF, SD 807 724) Other transport: Horton train station on the Settle to Carlisle line is close to the start Toilets: Horton car park Refreshments: pubs and café in Horton, Station Inn at Ribblehead and the Old Hill Inn in Chapel-le-dale This is a major challenge walk which is long and involves over 1600m (5000 feet) of climbing over the Three Peaks of Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough. There is one section on road, but the paths are good. You do need to be able to navigate and cope with conditions in the high fells. Route description 1. Walk south out of the village passing the Golden Lion pub and church and cross a small stream. Then turn left up a minor tarmac road. Follow this up towards Brackenbottom and just before reaching some buildings take a footpath on your left signed to Pen-y-ghent. 2. Climb steadily up through fields with Pen-y-ghent ahead of you. The final section of the route to the summit is steeper for a while before reaching the trig point and shelter. 3. Cross the wall at the summit and follow the clear path heading roughly north. This zig zags down, passing the gash of Hunt Pot, to reach the head of a walled lane. 4. Carry straight on to follow the new path over Whitber Hill to reach a clear track. Turn right and follow this for 1.5km (1 mile) and then take the path on the left towards Birkwith cave.

    Dent to Aye Gill Pike This Rewarding Walk Has Spectacular Views of the Howgill Fells (Below), the Three Peaks of Yorkshire, and Dentdale

    Dent to Aye Gill Pike This rewarding walk has spectacular views of the Howgill Fells (below), the Three Peaks of Yorkshire, and Dentdale. Start: Dent car park (GPS: SD 703 871) Distance: 10.5km (6.5 miles) Highest point: 556m (Aye Gill Pike summit) Time: Allow 3 to 4 hours Grade: Difficult Notes: This route has sections with no obvious path, so a map and navigational skills are required. There are short sections on quiet roads where care should be taken, and the route can be boggy in places. There are toilets, a village shop, café and pubs in Dent. Other options: For a more challenging experience, follow this route in the opposite direction, beginning with the very steep climb up to Aye Gill Pike. 1. (GPS: SD 704 870) Turn left out of the car park and walk through the cobbled village centre. Leave the village on this road and pick up the riverside path for the Dales Way on your left, just before the river Dee. Follow this path until you reach the tarmac road. 2. (GPS: SD 700 873) Turn right along the road and pick up the Dales Way again on your right, continuing along the river to the road at Barth Bridge. 3. (GPS: SD 694 878) At the road turn right. Walk along here for a short distance (approx 150m) and turn up the small tarmac lane on your right. Continue along this quiet lane for approximately 1km, until reaching Lunds Farm. 4. (GPS: SD 694 887) At the entrance to Lunds Farm turn left and continue through the cobbled yard.

Justifiably the club has Founded 1986 always had a very high reputation near and far. It’s inclusiveness and www.Ilkleyharriers.co.uk the excellent balance it strikes between participation and performance www.junior.ilkleyharriers.org.uk appropriate to each member’s abilities and inclinations are what Geoff Howard I believe to be at the heart of the pleasure and reward of being a Chair: member. Like many other members I have been fortunate enough, over Secretary: Hilda Coulsey three decades, to have benefited enormously - both as a person and as Treasurer: Martin Archer a runner - from the many opportunities being a Harrier has gifted.
