Ride report by Simeon Orme
It was day of sun, snow and wind for our tour around the Settle Loop of the Pennine Bridleway, after meeting at the National Parks car park in Stainforth , the six of us headed down Ribblesdale via Little Stainforth and Stackhouse to Settle where we stop at the Settle Down Cafe for morning coffee and for Nick’s second breakfast.
After our break we climbed out of Settle up Mitchell Lane where we joined Lambert Lane which is the first off-road section of the Settle Loop, which we followed up to High Hill Lane due weather conditions Fred & Pat left us for ride around Airton, Otterburn, Hellifield, Long Preston and getting back to Stainforth for four o’ clock, the rest of us cointinue up Stockdale Lane to followed the Pennine Bridleway back to Stainforth, we were treated to find views of the Yorkshire Dales and Malham Tarn at their best, the route took pass the Winskill Stones and we did stop to walk down to Catrigg Force (above Stainforth) to see it in full flow! We made it back to Stainforth just before it started to snow .
