HUDLESTON AND DAVIS : EXCUESION. 
"In walking from Malham the best foot road is by Well 
Head Lathe ; it is shorter and prettier. By the carriage road

near Caponer ; on Black Hill, Catrigg Pasture, Neals Ing, and

keepers. 
" Believe me, yours ver}^ faithfully,

took the road aci'oss the moors for the yictoria Cave and Settle. 
Owing to the inequalities of the ground, the latter party became 
sub-divided, though both sections arrived at the Victoria Cave 
about the same time. Some interesting observations relative to
