This is my place to say what goes on in my head.
 
Malham
There is a beautiful place in The Yorkshire Dales called Malhamdale.
And, in Malhamdale there is walk that can be taken to a place called Janet's Foss. Janets Foss
Janet(or Jennet) is said to be Queen of the local fairies and Foss is a Scandinavian word for Waterfall or force.
Local legend claims that Janet lives behind or near the waterfall.
On the walk up to Janet's Foss, past the smithy and across the little bridge, the path becomes shadier and more tree lined, and the smell of wild garlic is very noticeable.

Then.. There are the trees like this one..

I think that the coins were put there by  people wanting their wishes granted by the Fairies.
Janet's Foss was a lovely shaded place to relax and cool down, away from the hot sun.

When we did finally venture away from the shaded area, we crossed a farmer's field and found ourselves on top of a huge limestone causeway. 
It was so scary!
 This photo was taken when we got off that bit and onto a nice almost flat bit of land.
aaargh

And, after many, many slippery steps we reached the bottom of the path. 
It was such a relief to be on flat land again, and on the final mile or so back to the car.
I did take one look back to get a photograph of the rocks that we had climbed down from.


(Thank you Darren.)
