September 21, 2025,Catrigg Force / Stainforth Force / Scaleber Force waterfalls loop, Yorkshire Dales

A great loop which included 3 amazing waterfalls and a few caves.
The waterfalls were all flowing rapid after yesterday's torrential rain, so they were incredible to see 👌 and one of the caves was massive so you could get really far inside 😊
