Fairfield Horseshoe?

29th September 2019 by fiona burnett Leave a Comment

Having got soaked well and truly earlier in the week on a promising forecast of light rain showers and sunny spells I was slightly hesitant in setting off on a heavy showers and breezy weather outlook. Thankfully Shirley and Martin had the same thought so undeterred we decided to switch to plan B and meet for a walk in the Dales instead.

Saturday morning dawned heavy rain bouncing down outside as it had done for most of the night. Oh dear! but plans are plans so throwing everything into my new plastic rucksack liner especially resourced for such an occasion I debated seriously wether to gear up in the garage before heading out.

As I drove up out of Settle over the Moor (a delightful ride on most occasions) a faint glimmer of bright light could be seen encroaching over the sodden landscape from the west. Arriving at Airton to meet the others a total transformation started to occur hard to believe but blue skies and sunshine started to break through. So off we set over to Calton, Winterburn Reservoir, Hanlith Moor, Kirkby Malham ( by this time in tee shirts wishing we had shorts on!) and back to Airton. Great views, good company, nice chocolate tiffin ( thanks Shirley) 11.5 miles no rain, no jacket fab.
