I was on the 'A' walk today which looked promising at first, but this did not last long as most of the walk we were in the cloud, however we were not alone as several parties were 'doing' Pen-y ghent today, one of which was an annual reunion to commemorate a departed comrade!
The walk started at Helwith Bridge where the bus dropped us off and as you can see after all the heavy rain the river ribble is in full flow
Not all that far up Pen-y-Ghent and the mists envelope us, giving an erie feeling.
A bit of serious scrambling now, taking care on the wet rocks
There really is someone under that purple jacket. Still climbing, but not very difficult
The steady run of water of the rocks shows how wet it was.
Derrick booked this for our lunch stop at the top.
We didn't have time to set the table as it was also a bit windy!
Beneath the clouds so Derrick decides to extend the walk to Sell Gill Holes
Horton Ribblesdale railway station, but no steam trains appear to be running today!
Back to the village for refreshments and the Coach home.
