Holiday - Yorkshire Day 2

Yorkshire Holiday Day 2

Tuesday 7th June

After a poor night's sleep due to the heat we didn't get up that early.  We eventually left the cottage around 11.  We set off towards Ingleton as we needed to collect a competition prize Tim had won. We then headed to Malham Tarn and Malham cove.  We parked in the car park and to my dismay there were cows everywhere!  Once we had walked to the Tarn we stopped and had some lunch.  

We next went down into the village of Malham and walked off to the cove.  It was very hot and muggy. Once more there were cows everywhere and either side of the path.  Down at the cove we saw a peregrine falcon in the trees.  There were also some climbers attempting a very difficult climb.  

On our walk back we started to get thunder and drizzle.  We called in at the heritage centre to pick up some information about local steam trains.  Back at the car we were pleased to get the air con on as it was very muggy.  Back in Settle we walked up to a crag we have in mind for some climbing later in the week.  While we were out the rain and thunder returned so we retreated back to Craggs Barn for a shower, dinner and to watch Montypython’s Search for the Holy Grail! More thunder and lightning and the air has cleared a bit thankfully.  We are aiming to go caving tomorrow in Sel Gill Hole.
