This week found me walking up one of the famous Three Peaks of Yorkshire, Pen-Y-Ghent. At 694m it is the lowest of the three peaks with Ingleborough at 793m and Whernside at 736m. My companion wanted to have an 'interesting but not too taxing' day out. We got a little more than that with very low visibility for most of the day but she was very happy to summit in under 2 hrs after a long walk up from Helwith Bridge. The route back was via the Pennine Way into Horton in Ribblesdale followed by a walk along the river back to the car. The low visibility kept us to the main paths but even then close attention needed to be paid to the map at all times to ensure we met a pretty tight schedule for an important evening appointment of her 45th birthday meal! A good way to spend a birthday by any account!
