It is a cracking day and one where I am going to walk on my own with Crosby. These days Dexter cannot cope with long walks on hot days so he and Lynnie are going to stay around the caravan. When visiting this area it is always a certainty that I will walk up Ingleborough at least once, the only question is how soon after our arrival. This time it is within 24 hours!

Where Are We?
After a night of heavy rain we start to think about our walk for the day. Whenever we plan a trip to Brigholme Farm CL Lynnie requests we do some new walks, as we only visit once a year I find this difficult. There are so many walks I really love, like the climb to the top of Ingleborough from Clapham, which Lynnie is fed up of and terms a trudge from Gaping Gill to the top. However, there are some walks that Lynnie is happy to repeat. So today I suggest a route through Crummack Dale.

A Wonderful Walk through Wharfe
Every time we come to the Yorkshire Dales Lynnie requests that we add a new walk to our repertoire. The problem is there are so many walks here that I enjoy that it sometimes difficult to squeeze them all into a visit.
Today I have promised Lynnie that we will do a new walk. She is slightly suspicious when we head off to Clapham; she knows this is the start of my favourite circular walk up Inglegborough. However, as we leave the village by the tunnels alongside the church she knows we must be heading somewhere different.

The Norber Erratics
A few months ago we did an interesting walk in the Yorkshire Dales from Clapham to Crummock Dale. Later when reading a walking book it transpired that we had been close to a geological phenomenon known as the Norber Erratics. So today, our last day in the Dales in 2015, we decide to explore and see if it is as spectacular as reported.
Our walk starts from the Dales National Park car park in the centre of Clapham. From here we turn right up the lane heading towards the village church, on reaching the church we veer right to pass through two tunnels and proceed uphill on the rough walled track.

Malham Tarn and Crummack Dale
It is very odd, that although Malham Tarn is only a few miles from Settle we have never been there. I may have visited the Tarn as a child but I do not have any recollection and I definitely have not been there in the last thirty-five years. I start to plan a walk there from Settle, but Lynnie points out that the weather looks a bit dodgy so we agree to drive up and walk around.
Parking in the main car park to the south of the Tarn we eat our lunch before heading off, so sit in the comfort of the car and enjoy the view. As we munch a lone walker plods past us, she has a very heavy rucksack and every step looks to be an effort, she is on the Pennine Way path and we speculate on how far she has come today and where she will be stopping tonight.
