Well at least they were there around 130,000 years ago as bones of these animals were found in Victoria Cave many years ago along with a 11,000 year old Antler Spear point which is the earliest evidence of mans existence in the Yorkshire Dales.
On our way to the cave we walked a length of the Ribble Way and passed Stainforth Force and Catrigg Force.
The walk started in Settle and ended with a visit to Ye Olde Naked Man cafe which should not be missed.
Pictures of the walk are now available for those wishing to view.
