Good Friday was marked by a mini pilgrimage through stunning Dales scenery by walkers from the churches of Gargrave, Coniston Cold and Kirkby Malham.
Some 30 ramblers took part in the 14 mile circular hike from St Andrew’s, Gargrave, along the Pennine Way to St Michael’s, Kirkby Malham and then looped back via St Peter’s, Coniston Cold.
Welcome refreshments en route, including hot cross buns, were provided at the 
Friends Meeting House, Airton, where member Wilf Fenten gave a talk and tour of one of the oldest Quaker buildings in the country.
Tea was served at St Michael’s before a steep climb out of Kirkby
Malham and on to St Peter’s for a rest and more buns at Coniston Cold village hall before the last leg back to Gargrave.
Revd Sue McWhinney, who organised the walk with her husband Paul, said the circular Easter walk may become a fixture: “It’s been a wonderful day visiting beautiful churches in beautiful places and calling into the Meeting House also made it an ecumenical event.
“It was the second Good Friday that we’ve done this walk and it would be great to do it every year.”
