Extreme bad weather forecast & high level walking
We are the Leeds Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
We will walk along the river Skirfare for about 1.5 miles, then we cross a small bridge into a small village. Just before the end of the village, we take a track that leads us, at times steeply, up the hillside. It is a long steady climb to the top (great views both on the way up and at the top). Here we cross a wall on a ladder style and begin our descent into Kettlewell ( some places we'll be walking on slippery limestone ), where we will stop for lunch. There are toilet facilities here and shops/cafes where you can buy food and drinks.
We start our return journey with a stiff climb, where again we are rewarded with magnificent views, and in one or two places we will need to do a little scrambling. However, once we are over the top of the hill, the hard work is over and we have a pleasant walk back down to Arncliffe with only an occassional slippery area.
