I will give everyone a copy of this, along with route notes and maps, when they arrive. I just thought it would be useful for you to see it before - assuming you have access and login!
Yorkshire Dales Itinerary
All activities are optional, just enjoy the countryside, and hope for good weather!
Petrol – We advise filling up either in Settle or Ingleton before you get to the campsite.
Coming north, divert through Settle, petrol on left coming out of town, rejoin A65 further up. Coming south, petrol on right coming out of Ingleton on A65.
Thursday
Early arrivals, no plans for eating, so do your own thing. Plenty of options in Settle if you want someone to do it for you, and an excellent Booths supermarket. I can give directions to pubs, etc.
Friday
We fancy doing the waterfalls walk from Ingleton. Good paths, about 4 miles, but a fair climb. Parking at start is about 6 pounds, I think, so it might be worthwhile for singles to double up. We can go whenever we’re ready, take a picnic or grab a bite in Ingleton.
Alternatives include a visit to the Falconry Centre, just down the A65 towards Settle, or a ride on the Settle-Carlisle line. I’d suggest going as far as Appleby, as this is the most scenic section, and it’s a nice town to potter around. We have a timetable.
We could have a barbeque as we’ll be back from the above in time to visit Booths to stock up. Any Friday arrivals who want to join in please bring something to barbeque. The on site bar should be open if we want a little comfort afterwards.
Saturday
Time to give the cars a good run through the Dales. We’ve planned a guided run of about 80 miles, starting at 10:00 prompt. There will be a half hour break for elevenses (bring your own), an hour&half in Hawes for lunch (bring or buy) and another break in the afternoon (3/4 hour, tea van or bring something). Reserved parking in Hawes for first 17 to pay me. Back on site for 5:00. I may need a volunteer to lead another group!!
Special event when you get back, will only take a few minutes if you are rushing off to the showers. Or stay and spectate!
For those partaking, the on site meal will be at 7:30 for 8 in the small function room. Adjourn to the bar afterwards.
Sunday
Run to classic car show at Leighton Hall near Carnforth, not guided but instructions available, concessionary tickets from me. 25 miles one way. Need to be there by 11:30 so leave site at 10:00. If you are later I advise a quicker route via Kirkby. Food available at event. Return directly home or back to site if you are with us another night, meal to suit.
Monday
Activities, as per Friday. Please vacate campsite by 12:00. Hope you enjoyed it!
