Ingleton
Waterfalls Walk For the able-bodied and well-shod it's a must-see.
Really lovely and it just goes on - you go up one series of falls to
a little cafe stall and then over the hillside past a very textbook
limestone outcrop (and sometimes an ice-cream van) and then back down
a second series of falls. Beautiful. A series of falls and pools to
swim in in the summer too and near the start a place where the agile
can scramble behind the water curtain. Adults £1.50/1.00, kids 50p ,
cars £5.00 inc. occupants.
Kirkby Lonsdale
Famous for being the home of Devil's Bridge, where
motor cycle enthusiasts rally of a Summer Sunday and on sunny days reckless
folk entertain the picnicking tourists by jumping (DO NOT DIVE) from
the parapet into the cold foaming torrent below (a good long way below
and with rocky rocks on each side of a narrow channel). A potentially
fatal or gravely injurious act that should not to be attempted at all.
So don't go suing me if you mess it up, I've warned you. Also you'll
spoil everyone's afternoon. Best also if you're childless, loveless
and without dependents. And are wearing robust pants/T-shirt. Jumpers
should be fully fit and able swimmers and take due caution, advice,
consultation and careful observation of several other practitioners
first and EXACTLY where and how they jump - and how they fare. The jumper
should not leap wildly but should hold him / herself straight vertical,
hold your nose, deep breath (ladies fold your arms under your breasts,
guys - legs together) and present as little surface area to the water
as possible cos it will smack it HARD. I've done it - thought I might
want to practice for if I ever have to jump off a sinking ship......

I heard a garden gnome went walkabout a few weeks ago - that made for
a relatively thrilling Parish Council meeting) - it's just I didn't know
where else to put this listing.
