Dales Ways. After crossing Blea Moor


Road at Newby Head Moss, the upper reaches of the Ribble were met, here called Long Gill and Jam Sike. Those were followed to its source, which, despite recent rain, was no more than a trickle at the Gavel


Gap Spring. Pausing for lunch, the


group was able to admire views as far as Lakeland as the landscape was clear, despite earlier rain. More climbing followed as the party clambered over lime­


stone pavements to roach Gam High Road, a Roman road which now forms part of the Pennine Way and, for just over a mile, the Dales Way. Straight but nicely undulating, it allowed clear views of Pen- y-Ghent and Ingleborough. At Cam End, the Dales


Way was left behind, but the walkers stayed with the Pennine Way to Ling Gill Bridge, turning by way of Now House Barn over Scald Bank, Ling Gill Rigg and Swinesett Hill to


Nether Lodge. For the trek's last two
