Afterwards slowly ascending away from the Ribble for coffee at Garden Makers garden centre just before Wigglesworth and then on via Rathmell as the day deteriorated reaching Settle in a heavy shower.Conditions: cloudy but warm enough to sit outside. Later cloud increasing and heavy showers at the end of the day.
