Not enough rain then!

Following yesterday's fairly relaxing day we decided to get a little more active and headed off to do Ingleton Falls walk. This isn't a long walk, it's about 4.5 miles, but the whole loop of the walk involves scrambling over rocks and tree roots, walking up near vertical inclines of steps knowing full well that any vertical uphill part will entail another near vertical downhill swiftly followed by....now see if you can guess....yep another vertical uphill bit. It's a lovely walk and took us a lot longer than it should because of my continual need for photos.

This is one of the walks that when it says 2.5 to 4 hours is accurate. We have been on 2 hour walks that took us just over the hour but this one needed that time.

We met a very nice but unfortunate couple at the beginning of the walk both struggling with the initial incline and the steps, I don't think they got very far as it got harder not easier.

This has some impressive falls when there has been enough rain but today only some nice little falls.

The views as we went were stunning

We ended up in the lovely little village of Ingleton and had a lush lunch in the Wheatsheaf.

Back to Kirkby Lonsdale for the afternoon and had a walk along the River Lune slower than the last one as we had free parking as we had gone to Devils Bridge instead of into town. Lovely stroll and then up more blinking steps (Radical Steps) where we were delayed by a mouse who just sat in the middle step and started back at us!

Had a lovely Ice Cream form the little sweet shop in the market and then went down Jingling lane back to the car.

This is Devils Bridge from Saturday when it was less sunny.
