April in the Dales

Back to the Dales now for some serious photography walks, and a couple of very productive trips to the limestone above Malham and the gritstone of Simons Seat.
The landscape is influenced completely by the bedrock underneath, with the limestone draining into underground cave systems and the nonporous gritstone holding the surface water in the peat and heather moorlands.
