Settle Day 2 13 September 2023

Todays walk was to go over the top of the Blea Moor tunnel and see the famed Ribblehead Viaduct. We caught the train from Settle to Dent, the highest Station in the UK. This time we left the station and turned uphill up the Coal Road. We turned right and continued round Great Knoutberry hill until we got to Artengill beck. We followed that down the beck passing under Artengill viaduct.

After lunch at Scow Force waterfall,  we passed Dent Head farm then climbed up the hill to Blea moor.



 As we passed vent 1 a train came through which we could hear through the vent.



We continued over the moor, eventually arriving at the signal box


Before eventually arriving at the viaduct



. We celebrated the end of the walk in the Station inn then caught the 1617 train back to Settle
