Striding Edge

That is just stunning

Stoodley Pike, Todmorden (seeing as Shirl has just turned up )

What's the name of mini-Stoodley Pike in Pecket?

Looking at all these pennine/dales photos. Why don't we seriously organise a walk.

What's the name of mini-Stoodley Pike in Pecket?

It's just known here in Pecket as the war memorial

No stunning pictures of it that I can find, then. I always called it mini Stoodley

Lumb Falls, Hebden Bridge

Malham, N. Yorks

I walked round there with my son about 7 years ago. I was having a tough time and me and the boy went for that walk and it was impossible not to feel uplifted and grateful for being alive at the end of it

Lumb Falls, Hebden Bridge

That's 20 minutes walk from me and I've walked there loads but your photo makes it look a bit more magical than I've ever seen it

I agree - we've so much beautiful countryside on our doorstep so dead easy to do.

Want to be the organiser for this?

Yep, I found some even more 'magical' looking ones, but I liked this one best.

I was there two years ago in the snow and it had frozen over for the first time in years and it truly did look magical. It was a treacherous climb to get back to the road though!

The 2014 Tour de France is coming down through Pecket and then heading up Cragg Vale. Cragg Vale is apparently the longest continuing incline in Britain.

Next time you're out this way for a ramble, let me know

I nicked that from the Tour's website

I've cycled down it, but never up. I did attempt to cycle up to Pecket from Hebden but I had to get off and push before I was even out of the woods. Killer!

Course I don't. You have demonstrated excellent organisational skills. You organise it I'll come along though

My ex was from there, so I am unlikely to be making anywhere near as many trips as I used to. I used to be there every month or so!

edit: but of course will let you know if I do

I was waiting for that!

Let me have a think of what might be suitable - and within fairly easy travel distance for the likely attendees. If anyone else would be up for a walk let me know.

I went to a pub somewhere near Wensleydale to watch a friend compete in the Cheese Triathlon or something like that Anyway, this pub had a waterfall out the back. Does anyone know what it's called? Wolfie thinks it had a dragon in the name.

This the place? http://www.greendragonhardraw.com/fall.html

When you said cheese I took a wild guess that it'd be Hawes

Me and my dogs in Hardcastle Crags today on our way to the Blue Pig. It's the Crags with the sunlight coming through that I find stunning, not me

Yes that's it, thanks

They're lovely dogs - they look like fluffy greyhounds but no idea what type they really are!

Thornton Force, near Ingleton. The walk along the cascades of the Twiss and the Doe are amazing, and worth the entry fee (it is private land sadly). The last time I was there must have been twenty or more years ago on a geology field trip (there's an important geological feature at this waterfall, which can be seen in this picture).

There's another waterfall somewhere in the North that you can walk behind - you approach it by a path on the right hand side of the fall. I went there as a kid (must have been around 7 or so), and my mam has some awful photos of me and my sister, with me wearing a parka and basin hair cut. I can't remember what it is called, so does anyone know what it is called?
