A ride with the RSF (Rough Stuff Fellowship) from Settle, heading east on the Pennine Bridleway towards Malham, going north of the cove on Mastiles lane, then climbing up to Weets Top for lunch out of the wind behind the stone wall. Then the long straight descent to Calton and Airton for a coffee stop. The next leg was a steep climb on tarmac up past Malham Cove then onto Pennine Bridleway again. There was an opportunity for a brief walk on some Limestone Pavement part way up the climb. Then it was a long descent back into Settle, bridleway to begin with then steep tarmac at the end to finish at the starting point: Ye Olde Naked Man cafe.

A break after the initial climb out of Settle

Out into open country

Can't recall what Ian was demonstrating

Biker versus cow

Onwards

The first of many water splashes

Guess they're used to bikers

Heading towards Malham Cove but will turn north of it

Arriving at the road after a nice descent

On Mastiles lane and a more substantial water crossing

No problem for an RSF member
