Settle Caves and Forces

Distance: 10 miles
Ascent:
Weather: sunshine and showers
Kestrels, crows, bunnies,  pippets,  wheatear, lucky ducks on rocks, bunnies

We left Settle and headed east up to the hills, visiting a hill with a trig point and some bog.  Coming down,  we skirted some bog and cows, attempted to visit a cave and gave up as it was much higher up than it looked from below the scree.

We went to visit Victoria and Jubilee Caves, which were very cave-y (clearing the litter of someone's lunch.)

Crossing the style we saw some geology 2 out of 3 again) and some erratics (one of which was being closely investigated by a chap in a 4x4 who was determined to park really near to it) and stopped for lunch,  in rain showers.

The afternoon had two waterfalls and a very pretty walk along the River Ribble. At the end of the walk we crossed the bridge and headed back up to the Pennine Bridleway and back into Settle.
