Norber Erratics

The Norber Erratics are glacially-transported ancient Silurian boulders found near Austwick not far from where we were staying. They were eroded from cliffs 1km away to the north in Crummackdale and were deposited at Norber on Carboniferous limestones when the ice melted about 15000 years ago. Some of the larger erratics have protected the limestone beneath them while the surrounding surface has slowly been dissolved away by acid soil-water. These are some of them.
We had a great walk and somehow managed to get round without getting soaked. The dark grey clouds seemed to follow us around the peak of Ingleborough could not be seen all day but we did get to see some stunning views.
