11th May.
The day started grey with rain forecast for later but it arrived sooner, in fact when I got to Malham Cove.

A steep climb to the limestone pavement above the cove. Limestone pavement may be a rare site of special interest but it is a right pain to walk on.

On to Malham Tarn and round past the field centre where I saw this:
A long climb up to Fountains Fell, the rain eased and the cloud lifted.

| Not as cheap as a plastic tube. |
| There were some excellent views back towards Malham. |
Down the other side and up the road before turning up the hill past Churn Milk Hole.

There is a very steep climb up to Pen y Ghent.
From the top the clouds over Ingleborough were impressive.
Unfortunately one of them dumped on me on the way down and by the time I reached the campsite both it and I were soggy.
15.5 miles walked 1000 meters ascent

Great pictures.
Really good to see that someone has put so much effort into protecting that beech tree.
You probably didn’t have a chance to see the rare plants in the limestone pavement if it’s quite a balancing act to cross!
Thanks J.
Unfortunately spring is only just arriving here so no flowers
