We couldn't leave Yorkshire without returning to the Dales and seeing one, or even two, last waterfalls. So after a last walk around Ripon this morning, picking up groceries at Aldi along the way, we drove back to Settle. The road rose and fell passing deep ravines and craggy outcrops. From the higher points the landscape ran away into the distance. Our intention was to walk to two nearby waterfalls. However upon arriving at the van parking area by Settle Rugby Club there was only one overnight space available.
So we changed our plans, deciding to claim the last space and revisit the town.The warm sunny weather of this morning long gone, annoying drizzly rain began to fall. Last time we were here we stopped off at the outdoor shop where John saw a very lightweight fleece base layer he quite fancied, so we returned to the shop to buy one.
So tomorrow is waterfall day. Stainforth waterfall and Catrigg Force are just a few miles away. After our walk to see them we have to decide which route we will take back 'down south'. As this trip comes to a close we are already discussing other future adventures. They don't need to cost a fortune. They can be just a day trip out or a holiday. We are well aware that life has a 100% mortality rate, so we intend to live life as best we can!
