Just after Cow Bridge we joined the Ribble Way for a short stretch
The sign says: Warning Archery in Progress . . .
but they must all be hiding in the shelter!
A narrow bridge . . .
provides the focus for a photo
A 17th century house still has a well - but what's on the end of the ropes?
The Ribble Way rejoins the River Ribble where a duck takes her babies for a swim . . .
and two drakes . . .
spend some time together
Crossing the footbridge from the Ribble Way into Settle
The Aliens have landed near Lambert Lane??
