Time for a longer hike whilst the weather's nice enough.

We plotted out a 10km hike in Ribblesdale, around the villages of Stainforth and Langcliffe. Along the way, you have to stop at Catrigg Force, always an epic place regardless of water levels.

There's plenty more photos from this day, plus a bonus, right -> https://www.iancylkowski.com/blog/2024/8/4/ribblesdale-yorkshire-dales-summer 👍
