Holiday - Yorkshire/Shropshire - Day Four

Yorkshire/Shropshire Holiday

Day Four

The rain was still falling!!  We didn't really feel that inspired to go underground.  We decided we would go to Ingleton and have a late breakfast in Inglesport and get a few surveys from this area.  We tried a couple of roads to get there but had to turn round  due to rather deep flooding.  The road we eventually got down took us near the entrance to a couple of caves so we decided to stop and see if we could locate them.  When we had eventually found the correct place to park we walked out across the bog to an entrance we could see from the road.  We found Runscar and Thistle Cave entrances

We then headed for Inglesport to get some food, when we got there we found that most of the village was experiencing a power cut!!  We therefore couldn't get food there.  We did however manage to get a survey we wanted and I tried on a neofleece that I have been interested in.

We went to Settle in search of food - I had remembered seeing tea rooms there.  We went into the Singing Kettle as they were doing all day breakfasts and baps - they served massive portions!

On our way back to the caving club we decided to go via some lime kilns that we were told were worth a look.  However on the way Tim's car began to behave odd and a warning light came on and then a burning sort of smell!  We stopped, got out and had a look at it but there was nothing we could see going on.  We went back to the caving club as we were mostly back anyway.  I got online looking for local garages where we could get it looked at.  There was one in the village  near by - we took it there and they found that it had got a little bit waterlogged!!! 

They very speedily rectified the problem and we were on our way.  We had lost all motivation for doing anything else so we came back to the club.

That evening we went to Skipton to join their ringing practice.
