 In cool and drizzly weather conditions, Six of us set out on an 8 mile scenic route, from Langcliffe to the pretty village of Feizer via the limestone edge of Gigglesworth Scar. From Feizer, we joined the Dales High Way below Smearsett Scar, before descending into Stainforth, passing Stainforth Force, where the waterfall normally tumbles through its rocky gorge, but a long spell of dry weather has left the falls dry. The return route allowed us to explore the impressive Hoffmann Kiln, a vast, echoing industrial relic hidden in the woods, before we continued along the Limeworks Trail back to Langcliffe.
