Gordale Scar, North Yorkshire

[Muzorewa]

Just back from a lovely weekend at Gordale Scar campsite in North Yorkshire, where would you believe it there were a whole bunch of Bongos there when we arrived. This was a bit of a surprise for someone who was celebrating a 50th Birthday




First, a walk to the nearby Janet’s Foss waterfall






....where strange things lurk in the water








Volunteers to try to get to the back of the waterfall?






Here’s trouble










Getting down is always harder




Check for broken fingernails

[Muzorewa]

Just like the Elie Chain-Walk from two weeks ago, but without the chains




You WILL go for a swim




Watermagnet. Cold?


Off again and towards Malham


The penny tree – I didn’t have any pennies so Muzette had to settle for a 1 peseta coin


Ducklings hiding in the river bank


A bird Could be a lesser spotted Redstart




Malham


The Buck Inn


A Theaskston’s pub, not Tetley’s


Ah, the girls have spotted water again


Cold?

[Muzorewa]

Water again




Time for a quick spot of lunch....




Before heading up to the waterfall at Gordale Scar

[Muzorewa]

Team Muz lamb tagine – with chilli, apricots, chilli, chickpeas, chilli, lamb & chilli










Luckily someone thought to bring some party food


Ready, steady, COOK!!


Very fortunately, Mrs Muz had a Birthday cake with her, fancy that!!

The campsite proprietor Stick your tongue back in mate, she’s not for you

Yes, climbing again, although she wasn't at all dressed for it this time. Never needed asking twice if she wanted to go in any water either

Muz, have you got insomnia? What the hell are you doing on BF at 4.42 am?
