Who are we? As we're posting only a day later, it's no change from our last post, so once again you see George, Yorkie, Chelmer and Curly.
Where are we? We've travelled and climbed a few miles further to the west, to reach the Yorkshire Peak of Ingleborough. It's a bit higher than Pen-y-Ghent and provided us with quite a hard, but easy climb. The top was simply huge and very flat. The trig point stands on a plateau big enough to play several football matches on at the same time.
Our away from the top, looking at the top picture, doesn't show the whole peak, just the top layer. We hadn't descended far, just 100m or so to the lower summit of Little Ingleborough.
When and Why were We there? We're on the same Yorkshire holiday as our last post but it's a day later, so Wednesday 17th August 2011. To ensure we had the best walk possible we drove to the village of Clapham and parked there, We then took a local bus the 4 miles to Ingleton and climbed Ingleborough from there – a steady climb of about 3.5 miles. Rather than return the same way, we made a longer and varied descent, past the Gaping Ghyll pot hole and through a stunning gorge, back down into Clpaham where we enjoyed a fine beer at a local bunkhouse bar.
Lots of love, George, Yorkie. Chelmer and Curly
