Wheels in Motion Wheels In Motion The newsletter of the May 2014 Friends of DalesBus Vol 19 Dalesbus 2014 and beyond Let’s start with the good news – its spring, a lovely summer ahead, and the best DalesBus Issue 2 services ever to enjoy – a superb integrated network serving the whole of the Dales. A real bonus for 2014 is the restoration at weekends of the popular Harrogate-Skipton service extended to Malham (also serving the Washburn Valley at Blubberhouses). Thanks to a generous grant from the National Park’s Sustainable Development Fund we have a new service from Lancashire to Hawes via Settle, and continuation of Northern Dalesman to Swaledale. Last year was another record year with 48,000 passenger journeys and 5% Inside this issue: growth . The D&BCIC’s finances are in good shape. The bad news? Serious cuts to weekday buses in the Dales, and the loss of Pennine Motor bus services, replaced by mornings-only North Yorkshire County Council minibuses to Dalesbus 2014 and 1 beyond Settle, and no afternoon buses from Malham. The popular 74 service Ilkley-Grassington has been saved, but cut to only three buses a day, and there have been further service cuts in Metro Timetable Wensleydale and Swaledale bus services. Updates 1 What does the future hold? Next year: DalesBus will lose almost all the Local Sustainable Transport Funding via DITA and the National Park’s Sustainable Development funding was a The Grand Depart one off. Without major new cash for DalesBus, the network could be down to a handful of 2 “commercial” services. New Saturday Bus Ill-informed rumour-mongers have been suggesting that this is going to happen. Nonsense! Bus Operating Fund 2 We have been here before – every year. Dales &Bowland CIC Directors are in fact in dialogue with the new West Yorkshire Combined Authority – which now includes York – plus the North Yorkshire Local Enterprise Partnership, with our new allies, the MoorsBus CIC, Pennine Motors Service Update and 3 who will be running their first pilot service in July, to secure major new funding for both aftermath DalesBus and Moorsbus for 2015. This is a regional success story, too good to fail, and politicians understand this. Winter Social Review 4 But we need your support. Numbers talk. Use DalesBus whenever you possibly can this summer and bring friends and family onto our buses. Spread the word. We want to pass the Summer Guided magic 50,000 passenger barrier. If you are a Senior and lucky enough to benefit from free Walks 4 DalesBus travel why not give us desperately needed help by donating to our Bus Fund. We are still over £1,000 short of our £5,000 target, so every little helps, and in the coming election year, make sure the people who want your vote pledge their support for DalesBus.

Further information will be provided by North Yorkshire County Council For full Details visit:http://www.northyorks.gov.uk/article/28353/Tour-de-France-Grand-Dpart-2014 On Saturday 5th July, the Wensleydale Railway will be operating a special pre-bookable service for Le Tour. Details here: www.wensleydalerail.com/train-timetable/grand-depart-2014-timetable On Sunday 6th July, DalesBus services are expected to operate as follows: Normal service: routes 564A, 564C, 810, 811, 826, 830, 831, 832, 855, 856, 866, 872, 881, Upper Dales CONNECT No service: routes 800, 818, 820, 821, 823, 825, 870, 871, 873, 874, 875 To be confirmed: route 812 New Saturday Bus link between Harrogate, Skipton and Malham The volunteer-led Dales & Bowland Community Interest Company has introduced a new Saturday bus service linking Harrogate, Skipton and Malham. Cravenlink bus 75 provides trips from Harrogate Bus Station to Skipton at 9.10am, 12.30pm and 3.10pm straight along the A59 with just a short diversion to Bolton Bridge for visitors to Bolton Abbey. Journey time to Skipton is just 45 minutes. Return buses depart Skipton Bus Station at 11.25am, 2.05pm and 5.35pm. The 9.10am and 3.10pm buses extend to Gargrave, Airton and Malham with a return journey at 4.55pm. This allows easy access to the Pennine Way, Malham Tarn, Malham Cove, Gordale Scar, Janet’s Foss and easy canal walks between Skipton and Gargrave. This complements Sunday DalesBus service 875 from York, Knaresborough and Harrogate to Skipton and Malham – why not make a weekend of it and stay in Malhamdale? The Saturday service is being underwritten by the Dales and Bowland CIC, whose Chairman Chris Nash of Skipton said ‘I believe that there is a market for such a service and hope that it will be supported on such a scale that it becomes financially viable’. Cllr Robert Heseltine, a Member of both North Yorkshire County Council and the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority, is also a strong supporter of the new service “believing that this is the opportunity for bus services in North Yorkshire to turn over a new leaf”. However its continuation beyond October depends upon the number of passengers carried; return journeys from Harrogate will cost £7.50 to Skipton and £8 to Malham whilst concessionary bus pass holders travel free. No booking is required – just turn up and go! The Independent Travel Editor, Simon Calder has praised DalesBus as an excellent alternative to the rural rail network decimated 50 years ago by Dr Beeching; indeed DalesBus goes to places which have never seen a train! Bus Operating Fund Our Bus Operations Fund for 2014 has totalled £ 3,966.00 for the year so far. Many thanks to everybody who has already generously donated to the fund. We are closing in on our target of £5000. We need to keep DalesBus in operation for the summer and winter of 2014. The facts are clear. More passengers than ever are travelling on DalesBus services. We have a great Sunday Bus Network that works and passengers trust. If we can reach our target it will show to everyone how much we really value the bus services into the Yorkshire Dales. We will be making a massive statement, If you wish to make a donation, please send any cheques/PO (made payable to Friends of DalesBus) to our Treasurer, Mick Williams, 19 Cyprus Mount, St Johns, Wakefield, West Yorkshire, WF1 2RJ (Tel: 01924 361083) Please clearly state on the back of your cheque; “Bus Operating Fund”. If you wish to receive an acknowledgement letter, just let us know. Help spread the good word of DalesBus— from the Marketing Team (All Volunteers) If you can help with the distribution of promotional leaflets that would be amazing. 1 Check the local library and the larger ones in local towns and cities, the Tourist Info Centers, Bus Stations etc have the DalesBus pocket timetable on display. If not either replace yourself (supplies from the main bus stations or order from Metro website) or ask nicely why there aren’t any. Past experience has taught us in some places it’s often best to replenish the stock yourself. And please keep going back to check .2 Help the very small number of volunteers who distribute 10 different leaflets within an area extending from Middlesborough to Lancaster! To get a supply of the leaflets may not be simple but please contact John Carey, Production Coordinator to find the best way. He has an email address at [email protected]. We need them in the obvious places like libraries etc but also cafes, takeaways, hairdressers, health centers and other places where people are waiting. We find most people are very friendly and will let us leave them. Friends of DalesBus Page 3 Pennine Motor Services (Update) Pennine Motor Services have now ceased operations as from 17th May 2014. Pennine have operated bus service 580 between Skipton, Settle and Giggleswick, some journeys on bus service 210 between Skipton and Malham, and other bus services in the Skipton and Barnoldswick area.

  • Malhamdale and Southern/South Western Dales Fringes
    Malhamdale and Southern/South Western Dales Fringes + Physical Influences Malhamdale The landscape of Malhamdale is dominated by the influence of limestone, and includes some of the most spectacular examples of this type of scenery within the Yorkshire Dales National Park and within the United Kingdom as a whole. Great Scar limestone dominates the scenery around Malham, attaining a thickness of over 200m. It was formed in the Carboniferous period, some 330 million years ago, by the slow deposition of shell debris and chemical precipitates on the floor of a shallow tropical sea. The presence of faultlines creates dramatic variations in the scenery. South of Malham Tarn is the North Craven Fault, and Malham Cove and Gordale Scar, two miles to the south, were formed by the Mid Craven Fault. Easy erosion of the softer shale rocks to the south of the latter fault has created a sharp southern edge to the limestone plateau north of the fault. This step in the landscape was further developed by erosion during the various ice ages when glaciers flowing from the north deepened the basin where the tarn now stands and scoured the rock surface between the tarn and the village, leading later to the formation of limestone pavements. Glacial meltwater carved out the Watlowes dry valley above the cove. There are a number of theories as to the formation of the vertical wall of limestone that forms Malham Cove, whose origins appear to be in a combination of erosion by ice, water and underground water. It is thought that water pouring down the Watlowes valley would have cascaded over the cove and cut the waterfall back about 600 metres from the faultline, although this does not explain why the cove is wider than the valley above.

  • 2021 Book News Welcome to Our 2021 Book News
    2021 Book News Welcome to our 2021 Book News. As we come towards the end of a very strange year we hope that you’ve managed to get this far relatively unscathed. It’s been a very challenging time for us all and we’re just relieved that, so far, we’re mostly all in one piece. While we were closed over lockdown, Mark took on the challenge of digitalising some of Venture’s back catalogue producing over 20 downloadable books of some of our most popular titles. Thanks to the kind donations of our customers we managed to raise over £3000 for The Christie which was then matched pound for pound by a very good friend taking the total to almost £7000. There is still time to donate and download these books, just click on the downloads page on our website for the full list. We’re still operating with reduced numbers in the building at any one time. We’ve re-organised our schedules for packers and office staff to enable us to get orders out as fast as we can, but we’re also relying on carriers and suppliers. Many of the publishers whose titles we stock are small societies or one-man operations so please be aware of the longer lead times when placing orders for Christmas presents. The last posting dates for Christmas are listed on page 63 along with all the updates in light of the current Covid situation and also the impending Brexit deadline. In particular, please note the change to our order and payment processing which was introduced on 1st July 2020.
