Bizarre weather; snow flurries in the valley and a blizzard on the top of Kirkby Fell, with horizontal snow and knee deep drifts in places, made for an interesting walk. Sunshine in the afternoon as we sat in the pub in Settle with the Tour de Yorkshire going on outside. Blagged a lift back to Kirkby Malham for the evening and lift back in the morning.
